Menu: must hide menu with style="display: none"; indirectly via a class doesn'twork

[guest]

If you create a menu but initially hide it via a CSS rule like:

 .menu1 {
      display:none;
}

rather than

style="display: none"
}}

Then it doesn't display when the user right-clicks.

Use this file - it demonstrates the problem more clearly.

If you do

menu.domNode.style.display="none";

rather than doing it indirectly through a class, then it works, right?

I don't think this has anything to do with programmatic creation but rather just with the (unfortunately undocumented) way that you have to initially hide the element.

Well thanks for the this info. However, where is the documentation on how to do this? Also - in some cases you can do dojo.addClass(some.domNode, "someClass") and in some cases not. This speaks directly to consistency in the programming model. And this is actually what concerns me the most. There must be a consistent way to build and wire up widgets. Specific ways for building each widget indicates an inconsistency in the programming model. And this in turn speaks to immaturity of design and/or implementation. That is the real problem. What has been provided here is a workaround, not a fix.

Documentation for programmatic creation is just the test files themselves. Maybe someday it'll be in the actual documentation on the website. I'll leave this bug open for now, to make sure it's documented.

Dijit code might be able to use s CSS class w/!important to hide/show menu (and other widgets like Dialog), rather than setting style on the node indirectly.
