hi, we'll take a better look at your suggestions - i too believe that
there are many ways
to improve on dojo:Widget
Anyway, from a quick look, i'd suggest you try this:
<div jwcid="@dojo:Widget" dojoType="MenuItem2" caption="Logout"
onClick="callback:function(){location.href='http://tacos.sourceforge.net/4.1/'}"/>
As you see, it is possible to provide one liners inside callback
The noasync idea looks interesting - perhaps it could just be
async="false" or "true" and
would affect all listeners defined on the widget?
