DropdownButton menu non-functional

[dojo@…]

Clicking on the menu item fails to activate the alert (or onClick event).

The strange thing is that the bug code is basically identical to the test code in tests/widget/test_Button.html which functions just fine.

The code still works fine in 0.3.1 for all browsers.

Ah, you should attach testcases to the bug; that's standard procedure. You probably didn't know you can do that because you can't attach until after you've already filed the bug. It's confusing.

Here's the issue:

1. user clicks combobutton to open menu
2. user clicks menu item
3. button loses focus, causing button.onBlur event
4. button.onBlur() closes menu
5. menu item never gets onClick event

Button.onBlur() needs to check if the blur event occured within the menu.

Passing to Doug since he's modifying Button right now. The best thing I can think of is to put a timeout in Button.onBlur(), to delay closing the menu. That leaves open the issue of, when the menu closes, where is the focus? Should it go back to the button?

[dojo@…]

Thanks for the clarification. I will attach testcases in future.

Becky says that using toggle="wipe" on the menu will work around the problem.

[dojo@…]

Thank-you to you & Becky. It did the trick.

As it turns out, it was the one toggle animation I didn't try.
