Dojo & Roxer

Hello everyone,

A friend and I have been working on a project that's been using/upgrading Dojo since about version 0.2. It's called "Roxer" and takes an innovative approach to designing web pages. For the end user no coding is necessary, and they can change their pages instantly online by simply "unlocking" it's content.
Our whole website is editable on the spot; you can try it out if you'd like - just click the lock on the bottom left of the page:

Initially I was drawn to Dojo because it had the best RichText editor around. This Widget has been integrated in one of the most important aspects of Roxer, which is simply a "Text Box". This, like all the other content on Roxer, can be dragged, made opaque, resized, and instantly edited.

There's also a very elegant "Copy & Paste" system using dojo.cookie that lets you copy images, text, or anything, from one web page to another. Here are the user instructions on how to use this feature:

We're even tinkering with some of the nifty Dojox projects. On this page we've used Dojo to build a LightBox natively into all images:

Hope you guys like it. There's still some tiny bugs, but hopefully no show stoppers. If you have any feedback please send it my way.

Thanks,
Lex

Hey that's great. I (with bias) especially like the Lightbox usage. Be on the lookout for more cool dojox.image projects, and note a bunch of good bug fixes in the upcoming 1.1 dojox.image.Lightbox

keep it up! great stuff.
