rspec users - Nov 2008 - matcher to see if radio button is selected at page load

Hi. I''m trying to write a matcher to make sure a radio button is
selected when the page loads.

I got this at the moment:

When /^I leave "(.*)" selected$/ do |label|
  field = field_labeled label
  unless
field.instance_variable_get("@element")[''checked'']
&&
field.instance_variable_get("@element")[''checked'']
== "checked"
    raise "Expected radio button with label #{label} to be checked, but
it wasn''t"
  end
end

But I''m kind of assuming that there is a reason that @element
isn''t
accessible. Is there a better way to do this?

Have you tried using a CSS3 selector with something like have_tag ?

response.should
have_tag("input[type=radio][checked=checked][name=?][valued=?]",
"your[button]", "foo")

Wouldn''t that require me to do this: <input>My
label</input>
My validator is saying that is not valid XHTML.

Thanks for the suggestion. I definitely haven''t looked into the power
of
have_tag enough.
