-Changes from Dojo 0.4 dojo.widgets to new dijit project
-=======================================================
-
-The widgets and widget infrastructure have been separated into separate project,
-vastly streamlined and with a new directory structure. There are many other changes.
-
-Markup
-------
-
-dojoType="button" replaced by dojoType="dijit.Button" Must use fully qualified class name,
-and it's case-sensitive.
-
-Need to manually dojo.require("dojo.parser") to get parsing
-
-Widget namespaces and widget auto-loading are desupported.
-
-onClick="foo" now overrides (ie, replaces) the default onClick() function rather than attaching to it,
-so widget designers should make empty onClick() functions (when appropriate).
-
-Programmatic creation
----------------------
-Create widgets via
-
- new dijit.Button(params, srcNodeRef)
-
-createWidget() call removed since multiple renderers are no longer supported (see next section).
-
-At least for the dijit widgets, all widgets are guaranteed to work programmatically, which in
-effect means that all widgets must have templates, unless the default <div> works.
-
-Renderers
----------
-Removed support for multiple renderers (svg & vml & a11y) for a single widget.
-If a widget wants to render differently on different platforms, there must be
-branching code inside the widget, or it needs to call a library that branches
-based on the browser type (like dojo.gfx or dojo.charting).
-
-
-Templates
----------
-"this." is no longer used within ${} substitution notation. See ticket #2905.
-dojoRoot,buildScriptBase,dojoModuleUrl are no longer supported, but
-any JavaScript properties on the widget's 'this' may be referenced with dotted notation.
-The attributes dojoOn* are desupported (including dojoOnBuild);
-also can't use id attribute to affect a dojoAttachPoint.
-
-dojoAttachEvent is case sensitive, so capitalization matters. You will probably have
-to change
-
-dojoAttachEvent="onClick"
-
-to
-
-dojoAttachEvent="onclick: onClick"
-
-(given that the event name is lowercase, and assuming that the method name is camel case)
-
-lists within dojoAttachPoint, dojoAttachEvent, waiRole, and waiState are now comma-separated
-(not separated by semi-colons)
-
-Standard HTML attributes like 'id', 'name', 'lang', etc. are carried over programmatically
-by the _Widget constructor and do not need to be declared in the template (see _Widget.attributeMap)
-
-Parent/Child relationships
---------------------------
-By default widgets exist as islands, not knowing about their parent widget or children widgets.
-The exception is the destroy() function which will also delete all descendant widgets.
-Some widgets like Tree and SplitContainer will know about their children, but those widgets
-will use the special mixins in Container.js / Layout.js.
-
-Widget.js base class
---------------------
-
- - Widget.js, Domwidget.js, HtmlWidget.js combined into dijit.base.Widget, with TemplatedWidget mixin
-for widgets with templates
-
- - on widget creation, postMixInProperties(), buildRendering() and postCreate() is called.
- fillInTemplate() is no longer called. In addition, those functions call signatures have changed.
- No arguments are passed. To get the source dom Node, just reference this.srcDomNode.
-When postCreate() is called the widget children don't yet exist.
-
- - The TemplatedWidget mixin defines buildRendering(). widgetsInTemplate not ported yet.
-
- - onResized() removed
-
- - the whole parent/child relationship thing is gone
-
- - extraArgs[] is gone
-
- - postCreate() called but child widgets don't exist yet
-
- - templateCssPath ignored. User must manually include tundra.css file
