Technical Note: Managing Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 Update 1 AJAX Table Container

Using Dojo

AJAXTableContainerProvider ships with Dojo 0.3.1. The Dojo object is available for channels and portlets to use on the portal page. The Dojo object instance name is dojo. Channels can call utility methods of Dojo, such as dojo.byId() using the dojo object. Channels can also create Dojo widgets using the dojo object, and also use dojo.io.bind for content requests. For example, a channel can use dojo.io.bind to fetch content from some URL (that has to be on the same domain as the portal).
