AOL's AIMPages group (http://aimpages.com) just put a cross-domain (xdomain) build of Dojo 0.3.1 up on their CDN. What does this mean for you? If you follow the guidelines here: http://dojo.jot.com/WikiHome/CrossDomainPackageLoading you can load all of the Dojo JS packages from AOL's CDN instead of your domain. Benefits: * You get more connections in MSIE, since you can load from another domain. Faster loading. * You get increased cacheability/startup if many of your applications use the same xdDojo installation. * Package loading does not block the rest of the page from filling in as with Dojo's normal, synchronous loading. * With a local install, your ISP may charge you for all of those Dojo bits that you are serving. NOTE: You still need a local Dojo installation for some non-JS resources, but all the Dojo JS files will be loaded from the CDN. The widgets have their HTML and CSS interned into the xd files, so that data will be xdomain loaded too.
