DateTextBox: disabled check fails in Safari 3.0

[guest]

When creating a DateTextBox?, the calendar picker does not work properly in Safari 3.0 on MacOS X 10.5. All dates are stroken and none of them can be selected (maybe a problem with constraints on the values, like min or max?). The same calendar picker works fine in Firefox 2.0.

does this happen on the provided tests? which ones? If not, can you attach an example?

The problem happens e.g. with dijit/tests/form/test_DateTextBox.html in the first test field (Date (local format) ). It seems to be related to whether a min/max constraint is given (works) or is not given (does not work). Screenshot attached.

(In [12185]) dojo.date.compare with undefined produces unpredictable results, so check inputs first. Fixes #5701 !strict

the unpredictable part comes from what happens in compare when the input (date1) is converted to a Number and a Date. Date(Number(undefined)) produces an 'invalid date' in Mozilla, but an empty object in Safari. The compare then goes on to produce '0' and '-1' respectively, for the same inputs.

(In [21369]) doughays noticed that the parens were grouped incorrectly in r12185. Refs #5107. !strict

Browser behavior may have changed. Date(NaN) produces now, and Date() is only invalid on Mozilla, not Safari 4.0
