This article is also available in the following languages:
A Dojo Helper class for some Widgets but mainly for AJAX support like you know it from the AJAX Helper!
A while ago i decided to switch from prototype/script.aculo.us to the Dojo toolkit. But with cakePHP you have it hard. So i decided to write a Helper which you can use like the AJAX helper. There are also some Widgets supported! But i think its better to write widget code on your own. For some Form widgets I created input functions!
Heres the code:

Can you tell me the reason and email me?At the same time,tell me how to use javascriptHelper.I am a learner.
Thanks!
Did you place the $helpers array inside your app_controller?
I like Dojo and will use in my project.
Thanks.
