Rails - Apr 2007 - Test Driven Ajax - assert_xpath, assert_javascript, & assert_ajax

Railsers et al:

Anyone developing Ajax applications needs to read my new Short Cut, at 
O''Reilly:

  http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596510657/
  "Test Driven Ajax (on Rails)"

The paper shows how to write an Ajax website using these new assertions:

 . assert_xml  - check that HTML is XHTML and parsable
 . assert_xpath - parse XHTML and extract specific details
 . assert_js     - parse JavaScript (without Regexp!) for details
 . assert_ajax - run assertions when an Ajax command completes

The paper shows how to grow a test runner in a web page. It tests a target 
website inside an IFRAME.
