problem running dojo.plugin in struts2.1.6

When i m using struts2.1.6 dojo plugin.

It gives error here.

<script>
function show_details() {
dojo.event.topic.publish("show_detail"); /*...The function publish(String) is undefined.*/
}
</script>

Code where i m using this function.

<s:if test="conn!=null">
<td><s:url id="d_url" action="DetailAction.action" /></td>
<table width="600" align="Center">

<s:form name="DBLabelAction" id="DBLabelAction" action="UpdateRemoteDBLable">
<tr>
<td>System is connected to remote database.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<s:select name="attributeName" list="dbLabelList"
label="Select Attribute" headerKey="0"
headerValue="--Please Select--" cssClass="textfield" required="true" />
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>

<s:select name="remoteDbTable" list="remoteDbtableList"
label="Select Table" headerKey="0" headerValue="--Please Select--"
cssClass="textfield" required="true"
onchange= "show_details()"/>

<sx:div
showLoadingText="false" id="details" href="DetailAction" theme="ajax"
listenTopics="show_detail" formId="DBLabelAction">
</sx:div>

<s:submit value=" submit " align="center"></s:submit>
</s:form>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>

</table>

</s:if>

Please help what to do, in order to run ajax successfully. i have tried all sources to run this, but not successful.

Do you have dojo declared inside your head tag?
<sx:head />

Is your <script> declared after the above line? It should look something like this:

Also, is your code inside another <sx:div or <sx:tabbedPannel ?? If that's the case, you need to use executeScripts=true and separateScripts="false"

give it a try!

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!
