I have a Dojo dialog that is opened when a user clicks on an element on the page.

I want control the location it opens at ....really I want it to open beside (relative to) the other dom element clicked on.

But I can seem to figure out how to do either of the above.

Thank for any advice.

Open an dialog with dojo relative to click position:

dojo.style(pointDialog.domNode, 'visibility', 'hidden');
pointDialog.show().then(function () {
    dojo.style(pointDialog.domNode, 'top', clickEvt.pageY);
    dojo.style(pointDialog.domNode, 'visibility', 'visible');
});

The visibility trick is needed for dialog not hop

I'd take a loot at the Tooltip doc for Dojo. I've never had experience with Dojo, but here are some links that should help you get started.
