(dojo) dojox.form.Manager not firing observers

Question

I have a customer dialog widget that I am attempting to use dojox.form.Manager on.

I have just stumbled across this control and it looks to do most of what I was implementing (unified onchange events ) but much more. There is just one problem, the observer events will not fire.

I have a form element containing multiple dijits, form, and custom widgets. Each is set up something like

  <form id="resd_tab_details"dojoType="dojox.form.Manager">
        <input type="checkbox" dojoType="dijit.form.CheckBox" name="w01" value="w01"
        observer="testfunction1">
    </form>

I can attach to the form set values and everything else I have tried, except the events.

I would appreciate any assistance available.

thanks

Answer 1

IIRC an observer is a method name on a form manager, not a standalone function. While you didn't give the complete example to test, your naming suggest that you use a standalone function.

You can define a method on the form manager either inline (see an example in its "tests" subdirectory), or in the code by subclassing a manager.
