I've done this and its working;

var titleEdit = dijit.byId('title');

var myValue = title.attr('displayedValue');

worked!

In 1.2, Dijit moved to a common attribute accessor scheme. To use the new style and avoid the warning do this instead:

dijit.byId("textName").attr("value");

The lead for Dijit wrote up a good blog post on attr that might help.

Starting with Dojo 1.5 you should use the get and set methods to fetch and set properties. But the attr method is still working until Dojo 2.0 is out.

var box = dijit.byId('textbox')
box.get('value');
box.set('value', 'new value');
