I have had some trouble with ajax-heavy stuff but never took the time to sort it out. For testing JS directly, I use Screw.Unit Pat

But I seem to have gotten past it. If anyone has a specific problem post here, and I''ll give it a try :) Or you can email me directly: paul (at) thoughtless --I hate spam-- (dot) ca -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
