Dojo timing issue with dijit/registry and dojo/dom

Question

I am working on a one-page application in Dojo which submits forms via ajax and returns parses the return value before rendering the page. When I go about this I end up with a timing error.

When the following code is included via a script tag, it logs undefined:

require(["dijit/registry", 'dojo/domReady!'], function(registry){ console.log(registry.byId('my-id')) });

When I paste it in the console, I get the expected dijit widget.

I suspect that the problem is that this is firing before the page is rendered. Is there an easy way to ensure that this happens after the current document has been fully parsed and included in the main window?

Answer 1

May be you should try, to add Parser and call the Parser.parse() before trying to access the widget.

This is from Dojo documentation

Note that waiting for dojo/domReady! to fire is often not sufficient when working with widgets. Many widgets shouldn’t be initialized or accessed until the following modules load and execute:

• dojo/uacss
• dijit/hccss
• dojo/parser
