dijit/_WidgetBase#_set incorrectly calls watchers when oldValue and value are both NaN

[Colin Snover]

Because NaN !== NaN is true in JavaScript?, watchers will be fired always in the scenario that oldValue is NaN and value is also NaN.

A (the?) fix is to change if(this._created && value !== oldValue){ to if(this._created && value !== oldValue && !isNaN(value) && !isNaN(oldValue)){ in _WidgetBase#_set.

(This is a particular problem for widgets like NumberTextBox? which use NaN regularly.)

Yay JavaScript?!

Actually as bill pointed out to me, the above code is not correct because isNaN('foo') is true. The correct thing would be like:

	_set: function(/*String*/ name, /*anything*/ value){
		// summary:
		//		Helper function to set new value for specified attribute, and call handlers
		//		registered with watch() if the value has changed.

		function areBothNaN() {
			return value !== value && oldValue !== oldValue;
		}

		var oldValue = this[name];
		this[name] = value;
		if(this._created && value !== oldValue && !areBothNaN()){
			if(this._watchCallbacks){
				this._watchCallbacks(name, oldValue, value);
			}
			this.emit("attrmodified-" + name, {
				detail: {
					prevValue: oldValue,
					newValue: value
				}
			});
		}
	}
