AccordionContainer: pane can't contain independently sized layout widgets

[bill]

See #5672 for details. Basically, if an accordion panel contains layout widgets which are independently sized, they will not initialize correctly.

I have come across this issue too. It is caused by the direct assigning of a height style to the AccordionPane?, rather than allowing it to naturally size according to its content.

This seems to be a result of the widget always trying to fit the headers of all the panes on screen at the same time - it shrinks the open pane's body to fit. This does not scale to more than 10 panes on an average resolution.

Umm, sounds like you should just use a <div> with a bunch of TitlePanes in it; AccordionContainer is not appropriate for all situations. But this ticket is about something else, unrelated to your comment.

I am going to take a look at this as part of a proposed accordionContainter refactor to allow Layout Widgets as direct children, deprecating AccordionPane?.

Thanks Peter! Refactor mentioned above is ticket #6842.

Fixed in [15962]: For TabContainer?, StackContainer?, and AccordionContainer?, render unselected panes offscreen rather than making them display:none. This allows the panes to contain multiple embedded layout widgets (as opposed to a single layout widget which is sized the same as the ContentPane?).

IE6 was problematic; had to hack the CSS to not using visibility:hidden, and to revert to display:none for doLayout=false mode).

Fixes #5672, #5673 !strict.

Also [15942]: Due to [15962], ContentPane? now needs to check if it's been hidden via the dijitHidden class. Refs #5672, #5673 !strict.
