Hi All

I am almost ready to start the commit of the new dojo 1.1.1 based cforms to the Branch Grzegorz kindly setup.

Great! Can't wait to get my hands on this!

The last issue I am trying to sort out is getting XDomain loading working. i.e. having forms and ajax modules served by the local Cocoon instance, while all dojo's js/css etc. is loaded from Google's Ajax CDN : http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.1.1/**

1) Loading Dojo from Google CDN is the default.

        If a user wants to load Dojo locally, they dl their own copy and

3) Loading Dojo locally is the default
        We provide the full dojo-rsrc.jar in the dist (4.7Meg).

I personally think that (1) has distinct advantages.

If I can get XDomain loading to work, we have several different possible scenarios available to us, I am interested in getting feedback from you guys as to which ones are actually useful. dojo-rsrc.jar only contains a few static files required to support Dojo in XD mode (a few K). use the provided build scripts to make a replacement dojo- rsrc.jar 2) Loading Dojo from Google CDN is the default, but we provide the full dojo-rsrc.jar in the dist (4.7Meg). <map:parameter name="dojo-use-cdn" value="false"/> to their sitemap <map:parameter name="dojo-use-cdn" value="true"/> to their sitemap Less code in our dist, very effective caching and serving of Dojo, etc. NB. This is still a bit theoretical, as I do not have XDomain loading working quite yet :(

By default I would prefer not to have to rely on an external service to run any part of my application, so with that in mind option 3 seems most sensible to me. Also, I imagine option 1 would make development without a network connection difficult.

Please let me know what you think.

n) The user wants a single JS file that contains everything needed for one form: ... not sure yet, but they'd probably use the build scripts to make a 'layer' file having made a 'profile' to drive the build, which contains references to all of the Widgets required in the form (a handy list appears at the end of every cforms page)
