domConstuct.place

http://dojotoolkit.org/documentation/tutorials/1.9/hello_dojo/

example code segment 2: """ <script>

require([

'dojo/dom', 'dojo/dom-construct'

], function (dom, domConstruct) {

var greetingNode = dom.byId('greeting'); domConstruct.place(' Dojo!', greetingNode);

});

</script>

""" domConstruct.place error. later examples with:

var greeting = dom.byId('greeting'); greeting.innerHTML += ' from Dojo!';

works.

Well, do you have a node with id=greeting? Please attach the actual testcase you ran rather than just a code snippet.

also, it's possible you need a 'dojo/domReady!' dependency

add dojo/domReady!, same result.

like ive said, later example with var greeting = dom.byId('greeting'); greeting.innerHTML += ' from Dojo!'; works, so dom should be ready?

[ben hockey]

the example has domConstruct.place('<i> Dojo!</i>', greetingNode); but you have domConstruct.place(' Dojo!', greetingNode);. this is an important difference.

from the docs for `domConstruct.place'

node: DOMNode|DocumentFragment?|String

id or node reference, or HTML fragment starting with "<" to place relative to refNode

your node doesn't match this criteria but the one in the tutorial does.

Thanks. I see now.

js been disabled on the tuturial page. the code i see/copy is missing the 'code view' w/<i>, perhaps there should be some warning bout that.
