I’ve updated the script by changing references to “dojo” to “d”.

I agree it should be using ‘d’ in all places. In this case can also drop the || create(“div”) part for this progressive case. $ is used twice in the above, so the closure is fine otherwise.

I agree it should react to dragging over the label. dojo.setSelectable can help there, should be pretty easy.

@ignar – dijit is probably “too much” for such a simple action (though would benefit from some of the framework design patterns, this is just a simple “plugin” using only Base Dojo, so the overhead is minimal)

Nice and useful – works similarly to my Dojo powered GreaseMonkey script called EasyCheckboxes – http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/48011

@Pierre: I built that off of a plugin template -- good point.

@Darkimmortal: Fair enough.

@Ignar: I wanted to use "pure" Dojo code for this first one.

@Matt: Do you mean LABEL?

This would be better if you triggered the event when the mouse crosses the tag.

Why you do not use dojo widget system, its more powerfull?

Can’t see this being useful – the concept is completely unintuitive.

Why are you using dojo instead of the d argument passed to the “safety closure” function?

In the same way, dojo.query is not used inside the function? Plugin convention?
