Question

I have a loader div defined as say for simplicity

<div dojoAttachpoint="loaderDiv" style="display:none;">.....</div>

Now when i have a function that is called i want this div to be shown, how do i do that ?

Answer 1

dojoAttachPoints are used in widget templates. So in your widget you simply refer to the node like this.loaderDiv

dojo.style(this.loaderDiv, 'display', '');

If this code is not in a widget, then you should be using id.

<div id="loaderDiv" style="display:none;">.....</div>

dojo.style(dojo.byId('loaderDiv'), 'display', '');

I would also recommend taking a look at the dojox.widget.StandBy.
