Answer 1

Starting with Dojo 1.5, you must use the get and set methods to retrieve and set properties. But the attr method works until there is Dojo 2.0.

 var box = dijit.byId('textbox') box.get('value'); box.set('value', 'new value'); 

Answer 2

I did this and his work;

 var titleEdit = dijit.byId('title'); var myValue = title.attr('displayedValue'); 

working!

Answer 3

In 1.2, Dijit switched to a general attribute access scheme. To use the new style and avoid the warning, do this instead:

 dijit.byId("textName").attr("value"); 

The Dijit manual wrote a good blog post on attr that might help.
