How is dojo.placed supposed to be written?

I am trying to place a select box with an id but I think I am not entering the parameters correctly on the dojo.place method because it is rendering in firefox but not IE:

var removeOpt = dojo.query('#sSec2 option');
    this._sec1 = new widget.StyledDropdown(dojo.byId("sSec1"), function(){
        dojo.hitch(sm, sm.collectInfo);

        //Make sure the second security question does not populate with the first security question option selected
        var el = this._el, selected = this.getValue();

        // empty out the other select menu
        //dojo.empty(dojo.byId('sSec2'));
        dojo.query("#sSec2 option").forEach(dojo.destroy);

        // looping thru the cached options for the second select menu
        dojo.forEach(removeOpt, function(that){
            if (that.value != selected) {
                dojo.place(that, dojo.byId('sSec2'));
            }
        });

        // rebuild
       Dropdowns.byId('sSec2').build();
    }, true);

    var removeOpt2 = dojo.query('#sSec1 option');
    this._sec2 = new widget.StyledDropdown(dojo.byId("sSec2"), functi开发者_JS百科on(){
        dojo.hitch(sm, sm.collectInfo2);

        //Make sure the first security question does not populate with the second security question option selected
        var el = this._el, selected = this.getValue();

        // empty out the other select menu
        //dojo.empty(dojo.byId('sSec1'));
        dojo.query("#sSec1 option").forEach(dojo.destroy);

        // looping thru the cached options for the second select menu
        dojo.forEach(removeOpt2, function(that){
            if (that.value != selected) {
                dojo.place(that, dojo.byId('sSec1'));
            }
        });

        // rebuild
        Dropdowns.byId('sSec1').build();

can I get some suggestions?

The way you're calling it would add each as the (currently) last child of the node with id "sSec2".

More importantly though, what is your if condition checking? What is selected? It's not quoted - is that intentional?

EDIT RE: updated code

Okay, the context brought in by the surrounding code raises a couple more potential troubleshooting points.

• is this.getValue() returning what you expect? (presumably true or false to jive with the comparisons in question)
  • Maybe throw a console.log or alert inside those if statements to see if the code is even reaching there, ever?
• On your dojo.hitch lines, are you intending to execute that function? If so, add another () at the end - dojo.hitch returns a function, doesn't execute it itself.
• Also, this may be irrelevant but I'm a tad bit curious - I'm assuming your widget.StyledDropDown doesn't extend dijit._Widget? Since the arguments you're passing your constructor are in a completely different format.

Would it be possible for you to throw a (not-)working sample on http://jsfiddle.net/ ?
