If you are creating a custom extended widget you can override any of those lifecycle events in order to provide your own functionality at any point in the widget’s lifecycle. Since everything in javascript happens in a very particular order (and certain things will completely fail to work, if not included in the correct lifecycle event), it is wonderful to have these easily extendable methods. In fact, it is one of the reasons why I am such a big fan of Dojo.
Sometimes, however, extending the lifecycle events will cause problems. You are supposed to include
this.inherited("postCreate", arguments);
in your overridden method, in order to make sure the superclass methods are called appropriately. -

One of the hot methodologies in the JavaScript world is event delegation, and for good reason. Event delegation allows you to avoid adding event listeners to specific nodes; instead, the event listener is added to one parent. That event listener analyzes bubbled events to find a match on child elements. The base concept is fairly simple but many people don't understand just how event delegation works. -

I often hear developers complain about how difficult validating credit cards can be, especially when only supporting specific credit cards. Luckily the Dojo Toolkit includes dojox.validate.creditCard, a resource capable of efficiently validating a credit card. Better yet, you can easily take its logic and create you own validator.
