[Dojo-interest] Trying to create my own packages outside dojo

Fri Apr 14 17:56:02 MDT 2006

Try this for __package__js:

dojo.hostenv.conditionalLoadModule({
	common: ["packages.test.foo"]
});
dojo.hostenv.moduleLoaded("packages.test.*");

This is assuming this sort of widget applies to all rendering
environments (browser, svg, dashboard). If it only applies to a
specific environment, say browser, then change "common" above to
"browser". See the dojo source file src/widget/__package__.js for an
example of specific packages for specific environments.
