[Dojo-interest] Set CSS class

[Daniel]

THANK YOU!!!  Yay it works!

You wouldn't believe how many HOURS I've spent banging my head against 
the wall with this problem.

It would be nice if dojo.addClass did this. It looks easy enough:

dojo.addClass = function(obj, className) {
	obj.className += className;
}


Cheers,
Daniel.
