dojo.html.removeClass() doesn't work properly when allowPartialMatches is true

[[email protected]…]

When trying to clear a set of classes from an HTML element, I found that dojo.html.removeClass() doesn't work properly in 0.4. I believe it did work properly in 0.3.1.

I looked into it and it turns out that the probably faster .replace() call for allowPartialMatches == true only replaces the passed in classStr exactly once. In other words, if obj has className set to "blah noblah" calling dojo.html.replaceClass(obj, 'no', true) would result in className being set to "blah blah". Obviously not what I was looking for.

The following patch fixes it.

                } else {

                }
                dojo.html.setClass(node, newcs);

Yeah, the RegExp? is a tad more complicated (heh) but I believe it works properly in all cases. The extra (?:\s+|$)? in there allows for repeated strings, like blah noblah noimage, which with out that nastiness just did blah noimage`.

By the way, the revision number is from our internal project, not Dojo.
