[patch-CLA] Allow running dojo on the server with simulated DOM

[guest]

This patch adds a new "sojo" (server side dojo?) project.

It's based off some work by John Resig to simulate the DOM in rhino. It's proved to be useful for running unit tests. It's very experimental for other purposes i.e. running some javascript on the server with expensive computation. Maybe there is more practical usage for dojo

Usage example: cd utils/sojo; java -jar ../shrinksafe/custom_rhino.jar

Rhino 1.6 release 7 2007 10 19 js> load('env.js'); js> window.location = 'test.html'; test.html js> var djConfig = {baseUrl: "Z:/OpenAjax/dojo/"}; js> load('Z:/OpenAjax/dojo/dojo.js'); js> dojo.require('dojo._base.html'); [object Object] js> dojo.require('dijit.form.CheckBox?'); [object Object] js> var widget = new dijit.form.CheckBox?({id: "cb", name: "cb"}, dojo.byId("test")); js> print(dojo.body().innerHTML); <div role='presentation' waiRole='presentation' class='dijitReset dijitInline dijitCheckBox' widgetId='cb'><input dojoAttachEvent='onmouseover:_onMous e,onmouseout:_onMouse,onclick:_onClick' id='cb' class='dijitReset dijitCheckBoxInput' value='on' tabindex='0' type='checkbox' dojoAttachPoint='focusNo de' name='cb'/></div><div/>

DOM simulation with Rhino

In previous versions of dojo we had something similar (fakeDOM). It was removed in 0.9/1.0.

We'll have to be careful from a CLA perspective since this code uses code from John Resig. We probably need to get a CLA from him if we want to include this in the repository. It would also be good to compare with the fakeDOM that was previously in Dojo.

I also wonder how this would compare with using Jaxer. There is a ticket related to it: #5878.

BTW, this code is from Jonathan Bond-Caron, CLA is on file.

Jonathan, I'm going to close this for now. It seems like Jaxer provides a more robust solution if we want to run DOM tests outside a browser. Give a holler if you think otherwise.
