Radio button created with dojo.create can't be selected in IE7

[Michael Schall]

If you create a radio button using dojo.create in IE < 8, the value seems to be locked or unchangeable. You must use a non-standard document.createElement call to get the desired behavior.

View this link in IE7 to see the issue ​http://jsfiddle.net/RFNgt/1/

This code causes the problem in IE7:

dojo.create("input", {name: "clickable", type: "radio"}, dojo.byId("clickableContainer"));

This code works:

    dojo.place(document.createElement("<input type='radio' name='clickable' />"), dojo.byId("clickableContainer"));

Should/Could? dojo.create be handling this browser quirk?

Thanks

Mike

In [27138]:

Fix regression from [26092] where StackContainer._selectedChildWidget doesn't get cleared on destroyDescendants(), leading to an exception if StackContainer.resize() is subsequently called. Possibly other problems too.

Exception originally showed up in TabContainer.html test on IE9 when the document mode (in IE developer console) was set to IE7 standards, since the window was getting on onresize event (even though the window size hasn't changed).

Refs #13522, fixes regression on trunk/, !strict.

I assume that two comments right above this comment got there accidentally.

Oops, sorry, you are right, those comments were for #13552 not this ticket.

I can confirm this bug only happens in real IE7

It doesn't happen IE8 or IE9 in in IE7 Mode

[bill]

Given the decline of IE7, probably this won't be fixed.
