Checkbox loosing checked property

[guest]

dojo.widget.Checkbox.inputNode.checked is lost if one of the widget's ancestor nodes is moved to another DOM node. Causes problems since even though the graphics show the checkbox as checked, the submited form will not contain the checkbox field.

Example:

<div id='node1'>

<div id='node2'>

<input id='test' dojoType='checkbox'>

</div>

</div>

<div id='node3'></div>

<script type='text/javascript'>

dojo.addOnLoad(function() {

dojo.widget.byId("test").setValue(true);

this outputs TRUE

alert(dojo.widget.byId("test").inputNode.checked);

var node2 = dojo.byId("node2");

var node3 = dojo.byId("node3");

node2.parentNode.removeChild(node2);

node3.appendChild(node2);

this outputs FALSE, even though we haven't touched the checked value

alert(dojo.widget.byId("test").inputNode.checked);

});

Workaround (unsafe): use dojo.widget.byId("test")._setInfo() after changing the DOM structure

Not sure why this would be an issue, especially with the new code, but giving to David to look at. If for some reason this doesn't work with the new code we may just want to close as wontfix as this is a pretty esoteric issue.

Thanks for reporting the bug.

Bill, I agree we should close this as wontfix.

If the bug reporter can recreate this bug in dijit trunk, please reopen and provide a complete working test case (html file).
