Answer 1

I've done this and its working;

var titleEdit = dijit.byId('title');

var myValue = title.attr('displayedValue');

worked!

Answer 2

In 1.2, Dijit moved to a common attribute accessor scheme. To use the new style and avoid the warning do this instead:

dijit.byId("textName").attr("value");

The lead for Dijit wrote up a good blog post on attr that might help.
