dojo 0.3.1 reports an error: "FATAL: symbol 'dojo.widget' is not defined after loading 'package.js'"
comment I'm working on a project, Dojo seems pretty nice under Firefox, but too many of my users have IE to ognore it.

Alex,
I'm reopening this as you said you were amenable to the patch suggestion. I had a bit more thought on this last night and think there's even a nicer patch we could do to make this automatic for users when they are on IE 7 and doing local file loads. 'll attach both patches and you can pick which you prefer.
Basically patch files without alternate in the name are the original patch suggestion, allow a djConfig option users can set. Patched with the 'alternate' in the name take it one step further. It does a check that the browser is IE and if the window protocol (how you opened dojo), is file: (local load), then automatically set that flag for you. I've tested this with the demos we have in 0.4.3 and it works nicely. I'll also gen a patch set for 0.9 and append those to this as well.

There. I've added the patches. My preference is for the alternate one, as it only engages when it's a local load of dojo and does get local usage of IE 7 working for 0.4.3 and 0.9.

I applied the alternate patches I noted in this defect. Tested on IE 6, IE 7, for 0.9 and 0.4.X, seems to work fine now.
This appears to be an issue with opening the file directly in IE7 instead of serving it from a webserver. Deploying Dojo 0.4.1 to tomcat 5.5 results is properly working demos.
