_base/test_FocusManager.html "restore focus" button failing (Safari)

[bill]

_base/test_FocusManager.html "restoreFocus" button seems to have no effect on FF2/win, FF3/mac, or safari. See http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/_base/test_FocusManager.html

Actually, this was also broken in 1.0 branch (see http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.0.2/dojo-release-1.0.2/dijit/tests/_base/test_FocusManager.html):

FF2/win, IE6: same problem FF3/mac: error that dijit.getEnclosingWidget not found?!

[cla] [patch] (nicola.rizzo+dojo@…) arguments must be passed even if context object is undefined

[cla] [patch] (nicola.rizzo+dojo@…) omitted "this"

Works in FF2/Linux and IE6/wine. Not sure if there is a problem with "apply(context, cbArguments | | [ ])" in other browsers when context is undefined.

With focus.js.diff and window.js.diff (window.js.diff is related to /dojo/_base/window.js) works for me also in IE7, Safari 3.0.3/win and FF2/win.

Bill,
in 1.0 branch dijit.getEnclosingWidget is defined in manager.js, but focus.js doesn't call a dojo.require("dijit._base.manager"). In dijit/_base.js "dijit._base.manager" is required after "dijit._base.focus".
hth,

Nicola

(In [12662]) Refs #5858: _base/test_FocusManager.html "restore focus" button failing. This gets the code working on IE and FF, but not Safari...

The focus API tries to be clever, and (in this example) saves not what is actually in focus (ie, the save button itself), but what was in focus immediately before the save button was pressed. That code fails on Safari since the save button never gets focus. Need to rethink or desupport this API since I suspect the current code will fail on IE/FF if it's called when nothing is in focus: it will save whatever used to be in focus, even if that was 10 minutes earlier. Will rethink for 2.0.

Patch partly from Nicola (CLA on file)
