invalidMessage for dijit.form.DateTextBox doesn't popup onfocus of the DateTextBox control

[Jay]

Not sure if this is a side-effect or was done by-design, but:

With both dijit.form.DateTextBox? and dijit.form.TimeTextBox?, the invalidMessage "popup" does not behave the same as it does for other widgets which subclass dijit.form.ValidationTextBox? (for e.g. NumberTextBox?).

Specifically, when a DateTextBox? control containing invalid data receives focus, it does not show its invalid message.

To see this: type an invalid date ("aaaa") into a DateTextBox?, click elsewhere so that the control looses focus, now click back into the DateTextBox? and note that the invalid message is not displayed. The only way to see the invalid message of the focussed control is to press some keys which will change the (invalid) value displayed by the DateTextBox?.

This is not the case for things like NumberTextBox?, where the invalid message is displayed as soon as the invalid NumberTextBox? control gets focus.

patch to run the ValidationTextBox?._onFocus method from the overriden _DateTimeTextBox._onFocus

[Jay]

Looks like a small modification to the overridden _DateTimeTextBox.js _onFocus function may resolve this. I've attached a patch.

Oh, just a one line change and at first glance it sure looks like a bug (an oversight), just forgetting the this.inherited() call.

(In [20222]) Fixes #9952 !strict. Add missing this.inherited to _onFocus
