[patch][cla] widget: ComboBox, allow data to be passed directly(instead of by URL/option tags).

[csawyer@…]

Below is an SVN diff from rev 4965, for allowing data to be passed directly, instead of requiring a dataUrl, or as options to a combobox widget.

You can see this in action(example HTML/JS code) at: ​http://www.yuma.ca/tech/js/testWidget.html

I didn't see any notes on the developer page of how to submit patches/enhancement requests. If this is not the right way please let me know.

You can use the data property to assign data directly. For example:

new dijit.form.AutoCompleter?({data:{items:[{name:"California"}]}, name:"prog",autocomplete:false,searchField:"name"}, document.getElementById("progCombo"));
