I heard about Dojo last week. Figured I play around with it. I thought I would try and write a simple javascript base Web UI to a chess board. I had done this a while back in 90's with just straight javascript. It was pretty straight forward and I was able to hook it up to a "crafty" chess engine on the backend.
So I went to :
http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/quickstart/gettingstarted.html#quickstart-gettingstarted
So on my web server I created ...
plankton@ubuntu:/var/www/EC$ cat mytry1.html
<html>
<head>
<!-- see http://www.dojotoolkit.org/download/ --!>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.5/dojo/dojo.xd.js"></script>
<title>My Dojo Try 1</title>
</head>
<body>

... and loaded it in my browser and no surprise all that got outputted was the copyright thingy.
Next I took a look at an example and cut-n-pasted (like it said to do) this ...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html dir="ltr">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../_static/js/dijit/themes/claro/claro.css"

<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<body class=" claro ">
<div id="showMe" style="padding: 10px;">
click here to see how it works
</div>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../_static/js/dojo/dojo.js" djConfig="parseOnLoad: true">
</script>
<script>
dojo.addOnLoad(function() {
dojo.query("#showMe").onclick(function(e) {
var node = e.target;
var a = dojo.anim(node, {
backgroundColor: "#363636",
color: "#f7f7f7"
},
1000);
dojo.connect(a, "onEnd", function() {
dojo.anim(node, {
color: "#363636"
},
null, null, function() {
node.innerHTML = "wow, that was easy!";
dojo.anim(node, {
color: "white"
});
});
});
});
});
</script>
<!-- NOTE: the following script tag is not intended for usage in real
world!! it is part of the CodeGlass and you should just remove it when
you use the code -->
<script type="text/javascript">
dojo.addOnLoad(function() {
if (document.pub) {
document.pub();
}
});
</script>
</html>
... into a file mytry2.html ... and what do you think happened when I loaded that with my browser???? OH! the suspense! Well the string ...
