Answer 1

Try to destroy widget before creating new:

var stackedAreaLegend = dijit.byId('legend1');
if (stackedAreaLegend) {
   stackedAreaLegend.destroyRecursive(true);
}

stackedAreaLegend = new dojox.charting.widget.SelectableLegend({
    chart: chart1
    }, "legend1");   

stackedAreaLegend.refresh();
