When is the best time to call addChild on layout containers?

Submitted by jbognar on Fri, 03/28/2008 - 17:37.

I can't find this answer in the Book of Dojo. I'm nesting layout containers inside layout containers. When should I call addChild() to add it to the parent container?

Should I add them as I create them?....

var bc1 = new dijit.layout.BorderContainer(...);
var bc2 = new dijit.layout.BorderContainer(...);
bc1.addChild(bc2);
var bc3 = new dijit.layout.BorderContainer(...);
bc2.addChild(bc3);

...or should I create all of them first, and then add them together at the end?

var bc1 = new dijit.layout.BorderContainer(...);

Create BorderContainer programmatically

Hi,
I try create BorderContainer programmatically with this way:

document.body.appendChild(node); // necessary for tab contianer ???
node.style.cssText = "border: 2px solid black; width: 90%; height: 300px; padding: 10px;";
var bc = new dijit.layout.BorderContainer({design: "sidebar"},node);

var node = document.createElement("div");
document.body.appendChild(node);
node.style.cssText = "background-color: #b39b86; height: 100px;";
var widget = new dijit.layout.ContentPane({region: "top", splitter: "true"},node);
bc.addChild(widget);
