[CLA] dojo.number.parse fails for negative numbers in IE

[msmith@…]

The 0.9 tests show that dojo.number.parse fails on negative numbers when running in IE. The cause of the problem is in the assumption that the RegExp? results array will return an undefined value for results[1] when parsing a negative number. However, in IE, the RegExp? returns an empty string in this situation. The problem can be solved by modifying the if statement in dojo.number.parse to look for empty strings as well.

Sorry I don't have a universal diff format, but here's how to apply the fix:

number.js; dojo.number.parse() Change:

if(typeof absoluteMatch == 'undefined'){

matched the negative pattern absoluteMatch = results[2]; info.factor *= -1;

}

To:

if(typeof absoluteMatch == 'undefined'

absoluteMatch == ""){

matched the negative pattern absoluteMatch = results[2]; info.factor *= -1;

}

Whoops, I didn't mark the code as preformatted text. Here's another try:

number.js; dojo.number.parse()

Change:

    if(typeof absoluteMatch == 'undefined'){
        // matched the negative pattern
        absoluteMatch = results[2];
        info.factor *= -1;
    }

To:

    if(typeof absoluteMatch == 'undefined' || absoluteMatch == ""){
        // matched the negative pattern
        absoluteMatch = results[2];
        info.factor *= -1;
    }
