Hello superiors:

       Now I  have  a question like this：

       I create a component  use :

      var myDialog = new dijit.Dialog({

      id:"myDialog ",

     ...

     });

when I create this dialog second ， the  error  prompt that  the id has been registerred。

now I want to destroy the dialog  by id  before I create the dialog again ，how can i do it , thanks very much.

Hi xiaoyunn,

You can use this before your create widget call. If a widget with the id is available it'll delete it before creating the widget. Understanding _WidgetBase - The Dojo Toolkit 

if (dojo.byId(id)) { dojo.byId(id).destroyRecursive(false); }

Dear Mr Riyas Deen：

     Thanks very much ，your answer general right，but maybe change the dojo to dijit like

if (dijit.byId(id)) { dijit.byId(id).destroyRecursive(); }
