Answer 1

Starting with Dojo 1.5 you should use the get and set methods to fetch and set properties. But the attr method is still working until Dojo 2.0 is out.

var box = dijit.byId('textbox')
box.get('value');
box.set('value', 'new value');

Answer 2

I've done this and its working;

var titleEdit = dijit.byId('title');

var myValue = title.attr('displayedValue');

worked!
