dijit.form.DateTextBox not rendered in IE

[rboy]

Hi , I have this problem during dev. using dojo I've 3 tabs in a tabcontainer , each one containing a form and the last 2 tabs contained a input field which I want them to be "dijit.form.DateTextBox?" with a Calendar widget. So I use

setAttribute("dojoType","dijit.form.DateTextBox?");

to make them so. But things in tab2 is ok ,but in tab3 the attribute was set but not rendered. This problem only happens in IE

That's not the way to instantiate; you should read the dojo book (accessed through the main website, dojotoolkit.org) for information on programmatic instantiation.

Thank you for your reply, I now switched in the "new Something" method to declare. But in FF , I used a lot of "setAttribute("dojoType","dijit.form.DateTextBox??");" things to dynamically draw elements on the page and they are all ok.But in IE, it sometimes failed. So I can only say that IE is really shit.

Have you ever came across same problem?

rboy: definitely, search google for "IE setAttribute bugs". Instead use dojo.attr ( ​http://api.dojotoolkit.org/jsdoc/dojo/HEAD/dojo.attr ) for setting attributes.
