[Dojo-interest] dijit.byId("elementName") in 1.8

[c.sennewald]

Hy
I tried version 1.8.0 a few minutes ago.
Suddenly I got an javascript warning that the byId() Method is not supported
by the dijit object.

When I switch back to version 1.7.2 all work fine.

Does anyone has an idea whats join wrong for me?

thanks and kind regards

Chris

If you are using Firefox+Firebug+Dojo Plugin, this is because that plugin
has not been updated for AMD.

If it is your own code, and you are trying to use dijit.byId, and your code
is AMD and in async mode, it is because you aren't supposed to access it
this way anymore:

I,m surprised u can access dijit.byId in 1.7.1 usually i work with the
dijit/registry to get widget id and that works with dojofirebug in async
mode without any issue. No sure dijit.byId is he right way anymore.

Hi Chris,

we also encountered this recently on upgrade from dojo 170 to 181, and came
across your question, and was also wondering why.

In 1.7 there is a dependency chain dijit/focus -> dijit/ally ->
dijit/_base/manager
that brings the dijit.byId() into the dijit namepsace.

dijit/a11y doesn't use any of the dojo/_base/manager APIs so in Dojo 1.8.0
the unused dependency was removed
http://bugs.dojotoolkit.org/browser/dojo/dijit/trunk/a11y.js?rev=27551

so now you would have to explicitly import dijit/_base/manager

but as the other posters note you shouldn't really access it this way any
more and use the dijit/registry.byId() API.

Thought it might be of interest,
Jim
