I'm using Google Maps (via ym4r_gm, for what it's worth), and there's a load of HTML in the where the info_windows are defined, including some divs. Obviously they're not valid HTML -- the W3c validator doesn't like the VML hack for IE, apart from anything else -- but not sure of a way around that. Suspect I'll have to live with them being unvalid, but would be nice to be able to use assert_select. I'm using hpricot_test_helper at the moment (which is pretty good), but what with assert_select going into core... Just tried this, but it’s having some parsing my response.

I haven't used integration tests yet, but from what I know the get/post will return a response body, so it will work with assert_select. Joe,
