Dojo ComboBox Problem

Hi,

This is more of an issue with Dojo then the API, but it seems to be related to the newer version of the API (an app I wrote using 2.7 does not exhibit this behavior).

I am using a ComboBox connected to an ItemFileReadStore. In Firefox/Chrome, typing a value into the combobox searches and correctly displays the matching records. In IE9, I get boxes before/after the search string in the matching records. The boxes are the sort used as a placeholder for a missing character in a font. (see attached images)

I discovered that the matching items use the dijitComboBoxHighlightMatch css class. I added the following to my css file:

.dijitMenuItem .dijitComboBoxHighlightMatch
{
color: Red;
}

In Firefox/Chrome, the matching text now shows up red. IE appears to completely ignore this class.

Perhaps I am just missing something, so I thought I'd post this and see if any Dojo experts out there might have an idea where I am going wrong.

The code is pretty straight forward and is pretty much pulled out of a different app that does work.

<div dojoType="dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore" jsID="streetNames" url="streetnames.txt" ></div>

<input type="text" style="width: 95%;" id="txtStreetName" dojoType="dijit.form.ComboBox" store="streetNames" searchAttr="LMSNAM" />

Thanks!
Jonathan

I am having the same problem and have just started looking into it today. It's interesting though, if you look at this dojo sample, it does not happen - http://dojotoolkit.org/documentation/tutorials/1.8/selects_using_stores/demo/ProgComboBox.php. This sample is dojo 1.8.3, so maybe it has been corrected more recently since the arcgis js api for 3.3 says it is using dojo 1.8.
