rspec users - Apr 2011 - Rails Rspec Capybara Testing Javascript

I''m testing a Rails 3 app with Rspec and Capybara.

For my integration tests, I need to test javascript. Of course, I
watched http://railscasts.com/episodes/257-request-specs-and-capybara
which presents the basics very well.

Unfortunately an error is raised in the javascript as I can see using
save_and_open_page

It seems characters are encoded by Capybara or Selenium so this js
loop crashes because of the <:

<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript">
//code here
for (var i = 0; i &lt; lines.length; ++i) {
//...stuff here
}
//code here
</script>
Reason:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ;

I did put:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />

in my head so I can''t understand the problem.
