dynamic change the dojox.widget.standby TARGET

[vtsuper]

To reduce the resource, I would like to build 1 standby widget and share it in my whole application.

the target attribute can be a widget ID. So I want to change it dynamically. but the result is negative widget.set('target',newWidget);

the problem is there are no _setTargetAttr method. So we just add it then it becomes perfect

_setTargetAttr:function(target){
    if(typeof target === "string"){
        var w = registry.byId(target);
        this.target = w ? w.domNode : dom.byId(target);
    }
}

I would like to change the dojox.widget.standby's target dynamically, like this,

widget.set('target', 'targetWidgetID');

Although it seems works, it treats the targetWidgetID as a domNode ID rather than a widget ID.

So we can simply create a _setTargetAttr method, it becomes perfect

_setTargetAttr:function(target){
    if(typeof target === "string"){
        var w = registry.byId(target);
        this.target = w ? w.domNode : dom.byId(target);
    }
}

Seems good, except the third-to-last line should technically be:

this._set("target", w ? w.domNode : dom.byId(target));

so that watch() works.

I hope to get to this ticket in time for 1.11 (setting a deadline of end of January). If not, this will get moved to 1.12.

Thanks @vtsuper. This has been added to master and will be in Dojo 1.11.

This breaks existing behaviour. _setTargetAttr has no else branch. When our existing code sets a DOM node, nothing happens with this version.

I opened #18906 for this.
