Native widgets created by Dojo don't work

Question

I'm using dojo.create to throw some native widgets onto a page. In particular, I have put a set of radio buttons onto the page, and whether they function properly depends on where I put them.

I want to put them into a DIV I create. However, when I do that, they don't work. If I put them at the bottom of the body, they work. If I put them in the same DIV as another set of radio buttons I created earlier (I created that DIV, as well), they work. If I put the new DIV, with the buttons inside it, into the DIV where they worked, or at the bottom of the page, they don't work.

By "don't work", I mean that I connect to their onclick, but my connected function is not called. In Firefox, the radio group behavior is otherwise normal: I can select any one of the buttons in the group. In IE 8, I cannot change which item is selected.

Is this behavior that anyone recognizes?

"You'll figure it out yourself as soon as you ask for help." Happens to me a lot.

It turns out, in this case, that the problem was my adjusting the innerHTML (just inserting some text) of the div that I was putting the radio buttons in. I don't know why that was a problem, but don't do that! Instead of operating on the innerHTML, I created a couple of spans and assigned to their innerHTML. That was not a problem.
