The ajax="true" attribute is used server-side by Cocoon and can be filtered out by the stylesheets. The dojoType attribute triggers the Dojo widget system. It can be written in 3 different ways depending on the context/requirements: - dojoType attribute (e.g. dojoType="CFormsRepeater") -- works everywhere - namespaced dojo:type attribute (e.g. dojo:type="CFormsRepeater") -- works on namespace-aware browsers - CSS class (e.g. class="dojo-CFormsRepeater") I used the dojoType attribute variant, now we may decide to use another one. However, some widgets _require_ foreign attributes to be present. These are the widget-specific properties. > 2. Dojo contains a (rich text) editor, much along the lines of > htmlarea.
