dijit test pages are misleading regarding styling and themes

[alex]

the structure of Dijit test-pages doesn't make it clear that users need to add the theme class explicitly on the body of their document, nor does it make clear that you must pull in the css files for the themes you wish to use.

Many users still use the test files as examples of how to set up their pages, and making this clearer would reduce the number of support requests we need to answer. The right solution, I think, is to pull in tundra by default and have the helper pull in an alternate and change the body style instead of having the helper be responsible for the initial application of both.

This has bothered me a long time too, mainly for the reason you mentioned but also because it exacerbates race conditions loading CSS (where the JS starts executing before the CSS has finished loading and bad things happen). If that's doable then let's do it (although I'm not volunteering to modify all the test files myself).

(In [13661]) refs #6664 - all "public" dijit tests using _testCommon now use tundra as the default theme. WARNING: this currently breaks tests in nihilo / soria where there is a dijit.byId('something') in an addOnLoad because we're stalling parsing (not in the tundra case ... ) by a few ms. we probably don't need to, but we're fighting an inconsistant css race condition.

need to do dijit/demos, and dojox/* still ... that's next. please svn up dijit/ and check for any regressions based on this checkin. I've tested in ie6, ff2 and safari _most_ every test, but it is admittedly a little overwhelming so extra eyes would be appreciated.

(In [13663]) refs #6664 - hit all the demos.

(In [13666]) fixes #6664 - hit every test in dijit and dojox. please reopen if I missed something. I will fix immediately.

I forgot dojox/grid/* ...

(In [13680]) re fixes #6664 - grid was the last little piece to get.

(In [13694]) refs #6664 - i knew the delayed parsing in the nihilo / soria case would break something. the jist is: when using nihilo / soria, parsing is stalled by 120ms, though it may not have to be. This doesn't affect tundra at all, as no magic is happening there. fixes #6732

(In [13697]) refs #6664 - accidentally copied the wrong "default dojo.js line" for root dijit tests. tests needing extra locales should be in i18n/ folder. (for clarity)

(In [13700]) Move Calendar tests using non-default locales to tests/i18n. Refs #6664
