i have a module. I need it to be able to display a modal dialog.
Seems like I need to inject a div into the main DOM and then parse it. Is this the right approach. Are there samples (or even a util- seems like this would not be that uncommon)

There are samples for almost everything in DojoCampus and in the tests directory:
var pane = dojo.byId('thirdDialog');
thirdDlg = new dijit.Dialog({
id: "dialog3",
refocus:false,
title: "Programatic Dialog Creation"
},pane);
Note that this particular widget doesn't need to be inserted to the DOM manually - it appends itself to the end of the page. Here the second parameter to the Dialog constructor - pane - is a reference to the node whose content should be displayed inside the Dialog.
UPDATE: Based on the new information you should try this:
dojo.require("dijit.Dialog");
dojo.addOnLoad(function() {
secondDlg = new dijit.Dialog({
title: "Programatic Dialog Creation",
style: "width: 300px",
content: "Insert text here"
});
secondDlg.show()
});
As shown here, you can pass Dialog content in the content
attribute. (This sample is executable in FireBug on any page that includes Dojo.)
UPDATE: So, you want to have a form inside the Dialog? Nothing special here. Hey, you can even have a dijit form over there! Be sure to check out that DojoCampus article on Dialogs to learn how Dialog can communicate with a dijit form.
dojo.require("dijit.Dialog");
dojo.require("dijit.form.TextBox");
dojo.addOnLoad(function() {
secondDlg = new dijit.Dialog({
title: "Programatic Dialog Creation",
style: "width: 300px",
content: "<h2>Sample Form</h2>" +
"name: <input dojoType='dijit.form.TextBox' type='text' name='name' id='name'>"
});
secondDlg.show()
});
(Again this sample is executable in FireBug on any page that includes Dojo.)
aha - I wasnt clear - my bad
I want the module to popup a dialog without the page author doing anything. No tags in foo.htm.
