Hi all.
Let me describe the problem.

First of all - let's go through dojo widgets' (dijit) rendering process. It consists of 2 basic steps:
1st: parser searches whole page (if parseOnLoad = true) or custom element (if parseOnLoad = false and we're invoking dojo.parser.parse manually) for 'dojo-compatible' elements (I mean dojoType='...' and so on).
2nd: It replaces old elements with the new ones ()
2nd_a: we are happy - we can use awesome dojo widgets

BUT:

I believe I've found a bug in Dojo 1.1.1, where objects instantiated using the parser cannot be successfully subclassed. My demo code subclasses dojo.dnd.Moveable so that the objects start in random positions on the screen. I include two versions: one that works (using addOnLoad()), and one that doesn't (using the parser).

I continue working on Markdown parser and for now it already supports:

• span elements (bold, italic, inline images links and code)
• settext and atx headers
• code blocks
• blockquotes, partly supported for now (in some cases output differs from original Markdown output)
• horizontal rules
• backslash escaping for special chars (\*, \`, etc)

This week I was working on a parser implementation and made some progress.

The parser I implemented consists of language definition part (where all tokens are defined), function definitions which process a particular token and a scanner that processes text, detects tokens and applies these functions.

The previous week was really hard for me. I had to do a lot of university stuff,
so unfortunately I had no chance to spend much time on my project.

But I did some research earlier though.

I am working with the ToolTipDialog dijit and am having some problems putting more than one on a page. I am populating a div using ajax and innerHTML, in the html there is a table containing a drop down button in one column, after the html is set i am calling parser.parse(). When there are mutiple rows in the table i used a unique id for each ToolTipDialog dijit to avoid javascript errors for having multiple dialogs with the same id. The problem comes after the parser is finished.

I hope I've posted this in the correct forum. After looking at other posts it seems like it would get moved here even if I posted in the dijit forums initially.

I have a significant amount of experience with Dojo and am currently developing a set of widgets that will allow users to configure shipping options for eBay listings with a third party listing application. I will see if I can post a link to the application if needed, but for right now it easier to just describe the problem.

Is it possible to use declarative markup in a template that is just constructed of dojo widgets. I've found dojo.parse.parser(element); that will scan all the child contents of the that domNode and create the widgets but it doesn't work if the element passed is itself a widget? Any suggestions? Trying to use just dojo widgets and not apply anything but positioning to them to take advantage of all the support built into them.
