Dialog: option/ability to not hide after a submit

[guest]

I'd like to keep my dijit.Dialog up after a submit, I want my execute to add a callback to hide the dialog only in certain circumstances.

With that in mind, I've subclassed dijit.Dialog and changed postCreate to not connect onExecute or onCancel to hide. I think it would be nice to make this an option for all dijit.Dialog isntances, so here's a patch to add an autoHide flag and an _autoHide function that only hides if autoHide is true.

Patch dijit.Dialog

Hmm, why don't you just not do a submit but rather have a plain button in the dialog? you can connect it to do whatever you want, including querying the dialog for all it's values.

On a dijit.Form we can do onSubmit="return false;", maybe can do same thing for Dialog, rather than adding a new option. Passing to Doug.

This functionality should be accomplished via the submit button onclick method. Here's an example:

<button dojoType=dijit.form.Button type="submit" 
     onClick="return confirm('Hide dialog?')">OK</button>

(In [14447]) refs #5870 - this example burried in this ticket is useful to people. add test case showing how to prevent form closing the dialog on submit.
