Color picker

[Simon Bates]

Hi Daphne,

Currently space or mouse click selects a color but we will soon 
implement enter [http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/3920]. Please let us 
know if you find other problems with the Dojo color palette (or any 
other widget).

Bug reports are always extremely welcome. You can see the tickets 
currently filed against dojo at: http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/report 
(http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/report/33 for example.) To file new tickets 
you can log in with username "guest" and password "guest".
