DOJO

Dojo is a lightweight javascript library which have the following features:

Lightweight
Provide object oriented features
Help to build AJAX rich application
Large scale web application can be built
Provide widget library
Saves development time

And many more

Follow the instruction to get started with dojo :

Download stable version of dojo from dojotoolkit.org
In your www directory of wamp server make a folder named learndojo, in the folder learndojo make another directory dojoroot.
Unzip the downloaded dojo library in this dojoroot directory, directory structure should be like www/learndojo/dojoroot/dojo/dojo.js . The file dojo.js is present in the dojo folder of your unzipped directories.
In the learndojo directory make a file and named it index.html which have the following code.



<html>


<head>


<title>Learning Dojo</title>


<!--Below line includes the dojo.js files from the directory dojoroot/dojo/ -->


<script src="dojoroot/dojo/dojo.js">


</script>





</head>


<body>


<h1>Learning Dojo</h1>


<div id="message">Following are some features of dojo</div>


<ul id="list">


<li>Rich Internet application, saving development time</li>


<li class="highlight">Dojo have widget library and object oriented features which helps to build a AJAX powered web application</li>


<li>Extremely light-weight</li>


</ul>


</script>


<script>


/*Here dojo.onLoad is a function which will create a div on this page gets loaded and will add the text Hello learner.... to the body of this page. */


dojo.addOnLoad(function() {


dojo.create(


"div",


{


"innerHTML": "Hello, Learner. I hope you are enjoying dojo!"


},


dojo.body()


);


});


</script>


</body>


</html>

In the above code, the we have included dojo.js in the <head> section and we are using dojo to create a div dynamically when the web page gets loaded.
The dojo.onLoad function creates a div and add the text to the body "Hello learner, I hope you are enjoying dojo".
The same working code you can fork from git also.
