When I click on the link I get a dialog box that says,

Ineternet Explorer cannot opent the Internet site http://www.dojotoolkit.org/book/dojo-book-0-9/part-1-life-dojo/example-1-why-doesnt-anyone-fill-out-their-tax-forms/adding-some
Operation aborted

I didn't try much to figure out what was wrong.

I see the same problem in IE6... not exactly good as it happened when I was trying to convince my boss to let us use Dojo.
Works fine in FF 2.

I have the same problem with IE.
However, works fine with firefox.

This example does not inspire any confidence at all in someone looking at using this toolkit. It crashes both IE 6 and 7 with an "Operation Aborted" error. Unfortunately, support for both IE and Firefox at the very least is a number one requirement. The example should either be fixed or removed (and if there's an underlying problem in the toolkit that causes this, I sure hope that gets fixed soon!).
Why post an example on this web site that appears to have never even been tried on the most commonly used browser platform?

I believe the point is that this doesn't work, hence the need for Dojo.

A quick search for 'Internet Explorer "operation aborted"' turned up a number of links, many of which explain that IE fails if you try to modify the dom in certain ways before it has fully loaded. Microsoft acknowledges the bug at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927917 . There are a number of discussions of the problem that are easily found. I like this one: http://clientside.cnet.com/code-snippets/manipulating-the-dom/ie-and-ope...

I am so sorry to said that i didn't to join some webpages in dojobook!

Anybody else had this?

Where the example talks about highlighting colours changing and gradients changing..... I get none of this.
The only effect Tundra seems to have is to set the fonts to nice ones.

???????

i got an exact replica working on a plain php page, but then wanted to use the same effect on a pop up div, the tundra css seems to take effect but none of the tundra cool stuff, any thoughts?

That's very insightful, I am not much into filing taxes, never liked this task and I am pretty sure most people think the same. I usually seek help from professionals for filling my federal income tax forms that's until I get more familiarized with the procedure.

It is not convenient to search a specific problem on this site, this style of this book is not good enough.
