dojo/tests/_base/html_rtl.html Pops up 2 Alerts in IE

[jeresig]

Right now dojo/tests/_base/html_rtl.html pops up 2 alerts in IE asking the user to perform a specific task. Since having these popups appear defeats the purpose of an automated test runner, this specific test should be broken out into a separate file (which could then be manually run and interacted with by a user).

Could be changed to a robot test.

I understand that it's annoying to click the alerts() but breaking it out just means that no one will ever run that test; I don't think that's an improvement, although it's a matter of opinion.

Apparently the test is to make sure that we correctly get x/y coordinates for mouse events on IE in RTL mode. Probably we have some code to handle IE anomalies in RTL mode and we are testing that code.

I like the idea of making it a robot test, I'll see if I can get that done for 1.4. May not make beta, but hopefully before the RC. Have to first figure out how to make a robot test. :)

(In [23192]) Fixes #9514. Use a document.body onclick handler and fake mouse click to get rid of required user-interaction. The rectangle is moved to whereever the mouse is when the test runs which may even be off-screen.
