XPages dijit dialog

Various bloggers have identified the root cause being the dijit dialog getting moved outside the Form tag when it's created. The 'conversation' has extended through a number of blog posts, so you probably won't find responses to individual queries here because they tend to be specific. Also, the latest work is on two main XPages resource, the Domino Designer Wiki and The XPages Blog - if you're not already looking at those as a matter of course, it's worth doing so.

As Julian Buss notes, the result is that without additional work you can't use SSJS or call a partial refresh on a button in a dijit dialog, or it won't work (http://www.youatnotes.de/web/youatnotes/blog2.nsf/dx/xpages-display-a-panel-as-nice-dojodijit-dialog-on-page-load.htm).

Mark Hughes showed an example of a picklist dijit dialog working by moving the dialog back inside the form tag, which he posted on the Domino Designer wiki. http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Create_a_Picklist_View_in_X-Pages

What looks to be the best option if you're editing forms is Jeremy Hodge's post on the XPages blog http://xpagesblog.com/xpages-blog/2010/4/10/xpages-compatible-dojo-dialog-reusable-component.html. This is the most recent and probably complete resolution.
