I have a small web app I wrote that has a Dijit.layout.BorderContainer nested within a Dijit.form.Form. The form controls are scattered about several ContentPanes within the BorderContainer, hence why the form is the parent to the entire container. This worked fine with Dojo 1.5, but when I switch to Dojo 1.6, the whole layout is messed up, with everything piled in a mess at the top of the page (using the Dijit 1.6 CSS works fine when I continue to use Dojo 1.5 — it is when I flip the switch on the Dojo 1.6 library that things get messed up).
Any ideas on what the matter might be and how I can overcome it? I’ve tried taking everything out of my containers to ensure the content itself is not messing up the layout. It wasn’t.
You need to set the outer form widget to height: 100%, then the nested bordercontainer gets the right height.
