works fine in FF, but not in IE7 

<html>
        <head>
                <title>Simple Date Form</title>
                <link href="dojo/resources/dojo.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>
                <link href="dijit/themes/tundra/tundra.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>
                <script src="dojo/dojo.js" type="text/javascript" djConfig="parseOnLoad: true"></script>
                <script type="text/javascript">
                        dojo.require("dijit.form.DateTextBox");
                </script>
        </head>
        <body class="tundra">
                <form>
                        Select a date:
                        <input type="text" dojoType="dijit.form.DateTextBox" name="mydate" />
                        <input type="submit" value="go" />
                </form>
        </body>
</html>

Sample result query string: "?mydate=10%2F27%2F07&mydate=2007-10-27"

I looked at this a bit; I'll grab the bug if Doug isn't already working on it.

As per _FormWidget::attributeMap, name gets assigned to the displayed <input> field, and then MappedTextBox? mixin tries to move the name attribute to the hidden <input> field, but the removeAttribute() call doesn't work well on IE (nor does textbox.name="").

(In [11169]) Fixes #4905. Set JS object name value to "". Problem can be seen with any subclass of MappedTextBox?. Workaround for existing users is to subclass the erring text box class (datetextbox) and to set this.textbox.name="" after calling the superclass postCreate().

I checked on IE6. I bring up the test page, select a date, and then hit go. The address bar changes to: 

file:///C:/workspace/dijit/4905.html?=07%2F10%2F18&mydate=2007-10-18

(Haven't tried over http, perhaps there is a difference? Seems doubtful though) Can you take another look?

PS: if you changed the name to mydate_displayed or something like that I wouldn't be too worried (it would still be unfortunate to submit the diplayed value at all), but I'm just worried that web servers will get tripped up by submitting a value with a null name, and also I wonder how a POST request with a null name would look.

(In [11236]) Fixes #4905. For IE, replace the original node so null name values don't get submitted.

The fix seems to break Filteringselect

(In [11240]) Fixes #4905. Removed node replace code since other node references could have already existed and thus would be invalidated. Just changed the name to "_[oldname]_displayed_"
