I have seen both used in code but I was wondering what is the preferred and more efficient method of closing dialogs using dlg.hide() or dlg.destroyRecursive()?

That depends on whether you’re going to reuse the dialog or not. If it’s cheaper to just re-create it (you define what’s cheaper), use
destroyRecursive(). Otherwise, create once and justhide()it any time you need to close it.Keep in mind dijit will keep all the widgets you create in a registry. So simply letting the dialog variable go out of scope will not make it garbage collectable, and that opens up the possibility of a memory leak.
