#14346 closed defect (fixed)

dijit.form.TextBox with name=length cannot be created under IE

Description (last modified by bill)

If a TextBox element is create programmatically with IE8, an error is thrown as the TextBox' focusNode property is not set. This is related to IE's behavior that the name "length" will override the original length field of its parent. Hence dijit._Templated._attachTemplateNodes() will fail. The attached patch fixes this problem.

Wow, that's a weird one. I do reproduce that exception, even on IE8, it gives a "'tagName' is null or not an object" error. I'll check in your suggested fix.

Don't access nodes.length since it can be corrupt on IE, fixes #14346 !strict, thanks alexklaeser.
