[Dojo-interest] Re: ContentPane executing scrpts

[Bill Keese]

The original goal was that 2 contentpanes can include the same content 
(ie, include the same href) and they won't interfere with each other.  I 
don't think your suggestion handles that case, in particular, the call 
from an onclick handler

<div onclick="???">

Also, note that there isn't a predefined namespace per say; rather, each 
ContentPane gets it's own generated namespace.  The "execScope" thing is 
just a trigger to tell ContentPane to use that generated namespace.

There will be memory issues if closures aren't handled properly but so far this is the cleanest solution I can think of, and it doesn't require adding anything to the Dojo library to handle special needs (aka bloat :))
