RTL mode triggered when Prototype.js exists

Description (last modified by bill)

We are finding numerous places where Dojo breaks if Prototype.js is present. This is another example.

The failure occurs in the HEAD version of dijit/_base/sniff.js

Here is the code that fails: 

dojo._loaders.unshift(function(){
	if(!dojo._isBodyLtr()){
		html.className += " dijitRtl";
		for(var p in classes){
			if(classes[p]){
				html.className += " " + p+"-rtl";
			}
		}
	}

Somehow the dojo._isBodyLtr is false, and the <head> class gets several RTL classes inserted.

When prototype.js is removed, all works. Unfortunately this is not an option for our pages, given our use of prototype widgets.

To workaround this, we comment out the above logic.

If you've got a self-contained example, that would be great.

matt russell pointed this out to me at OSCON, and was going to dig deeper ... a testcase is avialble in trunk: uncomment the line in themeTester linking prototype.js (we've had issues with them before) ... I get: lineHeight is not defined during parse, and also see several _rtl rules on the html element.

correcting myself: matthew's report was that Mootools was doing this, not prototype. but its clear _something_ is going wrong regardless.

Milestone: tbd → 1.2

so other toolkits are apparently mucking with Element.prototype, which makes our instanceof check in html.js gcs() invalid.

(In [14925]) Avoid instanceof check on Element for prototype.js compatibility. Fixes #7467 !strict
