coming from jQuery with a request to look into Dojo, this type of thing makes me think that jQuery and UI are just eons ahead of the rest in terms of built-in UI-centric interaction. Is that fair to say?

Using item.style.display leads to problems (at least, in dojo 1.3). You should use dojo.style() instead. See http://api.dojotoolkit.org/jsdoc/1.3/dojo.style.

Peter, unfortunately, the functions in plugd don’t deal with elements that are set to be hidden via CSS, which is a big flaw.

Yeah! I new you would be a great dojo project lead! jk. Thats great, and I love that the plugd project it currently such a small add-on…

btw…whats up with extending nodelist with xhr….I’m not sure what your goals are but it scares and excites me…some crazy (good) stuff could be done with that…

Ironically, I just re-implemented these, with fade/speed args. You might enjoy it:

Then I added some more:

@Nitin -

Put the code at the start of your JS file, after your dojo.require statements.

Then you can hide dom elements using:

dojo.query(‘#id’).hide();

To hide a bunch of items…I think…you can use:

dojo.query(‘.ClassName’).hide();

That should hide everything with the class ClassName….
