Thanks for the offers and the ideas. The problem was actually with the parseOnLoad: true as one person suggested and that configuration parameter is apparently incompatible with async: true. When I added parseOnLoad the dijit requires started loading however I was still having the same layout error. Then I started from scratch and built the layout up and found the problem with async in the configuration. I am too new at this to know why this is so. Working example is below. <!DOCTYPE html>
