I've have also been looking at Dojo the last few days, I believe it isn't necessary to use Dojo attributes, although a lot of there examples do. "You can define those properties in sub-elements that take their values from the text node directly below the property element (think if it as a microformat). That's a validating option but deeply inefficient. You can also use namespace'd tags and attributes, but YMMV WRT browser support. I personally feel that validation (not well-formedness) is over-rated, but Dojo gives you options no matter what your leanings." http://raibledesigns.com/page/rd?entry=script_aculo_us_vs_dojo Regards Jason ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
