Dojo Lightbox, CDN and Problems

I have spent over an hour trying to get a simple page using Dojo's lightbox and no luck. I am more of a jQuery fan, but thought I would give Dojo a try since it is coupled with Zend Framework now. I tried adding the script and css tags manually to the page, not through Zend Framework, but for the life of me could not get it to work. Not sure what the deal is. Searching, I came to this page on Dojo, where it doesn't even work. In the comments it says this example is outdated and points to another page that didn't help at all. I'm pretty frustrated right now, so I'll have to try again on a clear head. Maybe trying to use the CDN instead of downloading the files is causing the problems? Man, jQuery's thickbox was painless to get up and running, may have stick with that...

Have you tried the Dojo mailing lists or #dojo on IRC? ,Wil

I have not. I am pretty sure I am probably doing something wrong and am going to try again when I am not in such a rush. I messed around with Dojo with Zend_Form and it worked fine. I see jQuery is somewhat integrated with ZF, so I may stick with jQuery. Nothing against Dojo, I just don't have any experience with it and am familiar with jQuery.
