Requesting dojo.event.connect always set up "this"

[cris@…]

If I set up <div onclick="doSomething(this)">and text</div>, the browser will set up the DIV element as "this" when the handler runs. It would be really nice if Dojo could set up effectively the same thing when I do:

dojo.event.connect(myDiv, "onclick", function(evt) {doSomething(this)})

(The enhancement would also be useful when using "connect" for putting advice on methods.)

thanks

We don't call connect functions in the context of the srcObj, but I've modified the event code so that evt.currentTarget is valid (for DOM events). See: http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/527 for more information.

Re: advice objects, note that in general you can do something like this: dojo.event.connect(myObj, "method", function(evt){ doSomething(myObj) })
