Fix:Host your code on a webserver when working with Dojo and access it through the webserver and not directly on your machine.
Explanation: I've been ramping up my Dojo skills, by reading the wonderful O'Reilly book above. One thing they forget to explain is most modern browsers won't let javascript traverse your directories when running directly from a folder on your desktop...per say. :) Consequently you need to run that bad boy by accessing it through your very own webserver. It's a big duh when you figure it out as this would be an awesome exploit for some javacript wiener that's up to no good.
(
note: I don't like O'Reilly books for learning particular topics, I believe they are only mostly good for reference, and even code references don't vary much from the documentation, but Amazon readers rated this one as one of the best so I picked it up),
