[cosmo-dev] Re: [commits-cosmo] (travis) [6250] Bug 11373: Replace imagegrid.js dojo.io.bind with dojo getText.

[Matthew Eernisse]

Travis,

Just curious -- how is getText cleaner than a sync io.bind call?

IIRC, getText is a private function -- I was under the impression it's 
used during bootstrapping when all of dojo isn't available yet.

Looks like in 1.x, it's now explicitly called out as private -- 
dojo._getText:

http://redesign.dojotoolkit.org/?q=jsdoc/dojo/HEAD/object/dojo._getText

Not that I think it's likely to change (any more) any time soon, but 
just curious why we'd be dipping down into private method calls rather 
that using a plain io.bind call, if the io module is loaded.

... And of course, now that I look at more docs for 1.x, I see stuff 
like this:

dojo.xhrGet(kw);  //Servlet get argement with doGet
dojo.xhrPost(kw);  //Servlet get argement with doPost

They apparently sucked all the XHR-transport io calls into _base. In the 
source there's also a bunch of other method calls like xhrPut, 
xhrDelete, etc.

I'm guessing in a 1.x world, we'd just do dojo.xhrGet for imagegrid.js? 
Does that sound right?
