Hi Peter,

Just found WaveMaker studio for Dojo development. Tried to build a page with expandable menu options similar to the one in the WaveMaker studio (left palette). However, there is no menu widget in the available widgets list. Any idea on this?

By the way, do you cover any development tool/IDE for Dojo in your book?

TIA
Mourougan

Hi Mourouganandame,

This actually mind of funny I told the WaveMaker guys the same thing (there's no menu - you gotta have a menu), so I wrote a tutorial on how to create custom WaveMaker palette items (which always use Dojo widgets underneath), here:

http://dev.wavemaker.com/forums/?q=node/1558

Myt book does not cover any IDE support, though. I think that you will find JavaScript and Dojo in less need of an IDE than Java development is. I have been working with Eclipse for many years and could not work without it (or, OK, NetBeans) for doing Java development, but when creating Dojo pages I usually use vi (or vim), sometimes wordpad or textpad++ depending on which machine I'm on. JavaScript is _very_ less verbose than Java, while retaining readability.

See this article from the proof-reader of my book (and responsible for dojox.gfx and dojox.charting), Eugene Lazutkin;
