dojox.form.FileUploader fails in a dijit.layout.ContentPane

[oakbehringer]

Under no circumstances can I get a dojox.form.FileUploader to work when placed inside a dijit.layout.ContentPane. This is surprising.

Inspecting the console, the debug output never gets to "FileUploader flash object ready".

If you create the FileUploader first, it works as expected.

If you create the ContentPane before creating the FileUploader button, the FileUploader button displays no text and is not clickable.

The attached test will demonstrate this, be sure to refresh between clicks/tests.

This looks like a duplicate of #11039 to me. Anyone else?

Seems like it, well at least in #11039 it says the FileUploader inside a container without _onShow() needs help to be shown.

But the attached test case has issues:

1. it looks like it's using the parser since it has dojoType attributes, yet it doesn't.
2. the test programatically creates a ContentPane but it doesn't call startup() on it.
3. ContentPane isn't design where you just call new MyWidget() to create widgets inside the ContentPane after the ContentPane is created. The ContentPane should be instantiating the FileUploader when it parses it's contents.

Marking this as low priority since (as #11039 says) FileUploader is deprecated.

Please use dojox.form.Uploader. It uses HTML5 uploaders in order to get around the problems caused by Flash in Mozilla and FF.

Bill,

You are correct, this turned out to be a duplicate of 11039. However:

1)It doesn't matter if a script has dojoType attributes, but doesn't use the parser. the case happens to be that I was testing both scenarios, to be thorough. I don't see this as an "issue."

2) Whoops. You're right...

3) This makes little sense to me as you seem to be implying that dynamically created widgets are not supported in ContentPane?, if they are created after the pane. You're saying that once I create a ContentPane?, I should not expect to be able to create new widgets in it, possibly in response to user action?

MWilcox,

Thanks. Where do I find a stable release to download with dojox.form.Uploader? Is it recommended to just download the trunk from svn?

​http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/src/

Is that considered stable?

THANKS! Oak

Oak,

Uploader is in 1.6. ​http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.6.0/

[OakBehringer]

As that is not referenced on your download page, am I to understand that it is in a pre-release phase?

Thanks, Oak

[Mike Wilcox]

Release candidate one I believe. So it's beyond beta and unlikely to change. And will be the official download very soon.

[OakBehringer]

Thanks!

1.6.0 (linked 3 comments ago) is the stable release of Dojo 1.6. You can find it referenced at ​http://download.dojotoolkit.org/

It's just not on both CDNs yet and as such the main site has not been updated yet.

@OakBehringer? - officially ContentPane only supports changing the content via set("content", ...) or set("href", ...). If you start mucking with the stuff inside of ContentPane directly that will work (at least in 1.x), but you need to be careful to call startup() and resize() on the new elements.
