same as link specified above, but place as sibling of dojo directory

Thanks for the testcase. Looks like a bug. Problem is that the dijit._getViewport() (called by djit._place()) returns height=99px, regardless of the actual browser window size. (99px is the height of the document). Mark, looks like a problem with your recent changes to place.js in [10345]. That change needs to be reverted.

PS: I meant that both [10334] and [10345] need to be reverted. Since the document can be much bigger or much smaller than the viewport, can't assume that viewport size is min(viewport, document). Not sure what to do about subtracting scroll bar size; needs some more research I.

It's the DTD that breaks the getViewport code actually. If you remove the doctype it works.

Patch forthcoming.

(In [10680]) Fixes #4538. Proxy commit for haysmark. Added support for strict DTD in FF dijit.getViewport calls (was returning document size in strict mode).
