  • 0

Being new to Dojo I’m trying to initialize a Dijit form with values, e.g. read from storage, XHR etc.

However, invoking form.setFormValues() causes an error TypeError: invalid 'in' operand this.formWidgets thrown by http://yandex.st/dojo/1.7.3/dojox//form/manager/_Mixin.js

Is there anything I’m doing wrong or is this a Dojo issue? (The complete sample is also found here: http://pastebin.com/7LUHr3iA)

    Dojo 1.7 is asynchronous. Code should take the form:

    require(["dependency"], function(dep) {
  // use dependency
});

    There is no reason to believe dojox/form/Manager would be loaded when you try to reference it further down the page.

    The registry is the correct way to reference the widget, not 1.6 style code of the form dijit.byId. See livedocs.

    See also the dojo/domReady! plugin.
