  1. hi, what about showing some examples using YUI (there is no example on the net) as it’s becoming a major javascript framework.

    Best regards,

  2. You should render your form before the viewscript then all you need to do is a:
    if ($this->dojo()->isEnabled()){
    echo $this->dojo();
    }

    And you skip the part with the dojo.require() etc. I would also stress the importance of giving the form a unique name to allow programmatic initialization (as correctly provided in the tutorial).
