Toolbar menu item events

[guest]

In the attached file, the event function, the function gets called, but I don't know how to retrieve the event source from the event. Also, how do you subscribe to events generated by a menuItem or any other event emiting source?

And there is little or no documentation on this, either in the tests or elsewhere. All the docs appear to approach the problem from a general point of view. The devil is in the details guys.

What do you mean by "the event source"?

By the way, it would be easier if you just did:

var menuItem1 = new dijit.MenuItem({
  label: "Save",
  onClick: foobar
});

I've tried that and unless I am missing something, it does not work.

Check it out. That is the obvious solution and maybe I am not doing something, but that syntax does not invoke the foobar function.

var menuItem1 = new dijit.MenuItem({
	         id:"menuItem1",		                	
                 label: "Save",
                 onClick:foobar,	
                 iconClass:"dijitEditorIcon dijitEditorIconSave"
                 document.createElement("div"));

Nothing happens. That is why I chose the other methodology.

By event source I mean: which menuItem generated the event? When I try to find it by dojo.byId("menuItem2"), it doesn't get the menuItem. I have tried looking for it in the MouseEvent??, and it does not come up?
