As part of my current contract position, I’m creating a custom widget inside the Dojo framework. What this widget does is basically mimic an auto-complete list box (think <select multiple=”multiple”>), but allow for icons next to some of the items.

I have to say, Dojo makes widget creation as painless as it can probably be. With nifty stuff like auto-wireup for events and built in templating, it makes creating these things awfully easy.

In any case, kudos to the Dojo team and check it out if you’re a rich internet nerd like myself.
