#10881 closed enhancement (fixed)

parser support of bidi inheritance

Reported by: bill Owned by: bill

Component: Dijit Version: 1.4.0

Description

Add limited parser support for bidi inheritance, such that:

1) when parsing a document, a dir setting on a node (widget or otherwise) will propogate down and become an attribute passed to descendant widgets when they are instantiated

2) the closest ancestor wins (ex: a dir="ltr" on a <p> will override a dir="rtl" on <body>)

3) option to parser to specify default dir for instantiated widgets, so that ContentPane can say something like 

dojo.parser.parse({
    rootNode: this.containerNode, 
    dir: "rtl"
});

Note that this ticket intentionally doesn't address widgets created programatically, even if they are created with a srcNodeRef specified.

Also, changing the dir of a node after the widgets have been parsed is not supported; the effects are undefined.

See also #10880.

(In [21609]) Enhance parser to track dir=ltr/rtl settings on nodes (with or without a dojoType setting), and propogate those settings down to descendant widgets when the widgets are constructed.

Refs #10402, #10881.

(In [21762]) Tweak test so that programmatic creation matches declarative creation exactly (including dir attribute), to prevent spurious failure. Refs #10881.
