(by dijits, I actually refer to any widgets) it should work (need to patch each and every existing objects and go through there superclass chain), but I think that's quite some work are you saying you don’t have any custom made widgets?

Yeah, that should work for simple case (where you have no subclass). However, for more real world cases, such as dijits, inheritage/subclass/mixins are heavily used, I don't know whether that will work. In addition, sometimes you change a dijits internal structure or something, then you definitely want to delete the dijit and recreate it. ah, I see.

I think it may be easier/faster to just destroy them and recreate them :) so you are saying mixin all functions to all dijits on the page?

Moreover, you are not destroying your widgets in this way, you just reassign new logic to the functions (JavaScript`s feature of function are data is just brilliant). in this case maybe just mixin all the functions, because usually the code that you change is in a logic of a function, and not a value of a non-function member.
