This is where digging into the Dojo documentation can help.
With dijit.layout.ContentPane, you can't return javascript; it simply
won't get executed. However, you *can* embed special script tags within
the content that the dojo parser will then parse and execute. As an
example, the following is something I've done:
<script type="dojo/method" event="onLoad">
dojo.connect(dijit.byId("submit"), "onclick", function(e){
/* actions go here... */
});
</script>
Note the "dojo/method" script type -- the parser recognizes various
dojo/* types and creates callbacks or binds events accordingly.
This can be added to your form via a custom decorator that renders
inside the ContentPane.
