Creating Dojo applications

The Dojo toolkit allows for the building of dynamic capabilities into web pages. You can use the components that Dojo provides to make your websites more usable, responsive, and functional.

About this task

The Dojo Toolkit is a powerful open source JavaScript™ library that can be used to create rich and varied user interfaces running within a browser. The library requires no browser-side runtime plug-in and runs natively on all major browsers. The Dojo Toolkit makes it easy to embed JavaScript controls into web pages to help improve the responsiveness and appearance of the website. Some of the benefits of adding Dojo capabilities to your applications include:
  • A more interactive, differentiated experience that can lead to longer sessions and increased customer loyalty.
  • Responsive, local actions that can result in fewer abandoned transactions, higher completion rates, and higher end-user productivity.

To create a Dojo application:

Procedure

  1. Create a Dojo enabled Web project.
  2. Create a Web page using HTML, XHTML, and CSS.
  3. Add Dojo widgets to the page or create custom Dojo widgets.
  4. Create the data interchange mechanism using JSON, XML and XMLHttpRequest.
  5. Enhance the performance of your Dojo application by running a custom build.
  6. Test your Dojo application on the Web Preview Server.
  7. Debug your Web pages with Firebug.
