Need help in View Spec

[Shaker]

Hello everyone:
  I am kind of puzzled in writing spec on view partials. I can not find much information about the "should have_tag" syntax in Rspec. Can rspec test a particular attribute of a tag (e.g. input tag)? Let me put an example here:
#../view/group/_index
  <div id="test">
    <input type="button" value="update" onclick="update()" />
  </div>
I want to test the "onclick" attribute in the input tag, which ensure that clicking the button will call the correct Javascript method. How should I do?
  Great thanks for any help.

Yes, I have gone through the documentation before, and I read the reference of 'assert_select' as well. But I still can not figure out a way of testing attributes in a tag. What I know is we can use:
  should have_tag("tag#id") or should have_tag("tag.class")
to select a tag, whereas I don't know how to select an attribute and test it!
Another problem is the tag does not have id or class sometimes, does it mean that is no way of selecting it?

That's all covered in the assert_select docs. Here's a cheat sheet you
might find useful.

http://labnotes.org/svn/public/ruby/rails_plugins/assert_select/cheat/assert_select.html

so you can do this:

response.should have_tag("form[action=?][method=post]", foo_path(@foo))

Hello
  To spec the example I mentioned before, I wrote the spec as what you suggested
#../view/group/index_spec.rb
  describe "/group/_index_spec" do
    it "should call JS function when click the button" do
      render '/group/_index'
      response.should have_tag("input[onclick=?]", "update()")
    end
  end
However, it generated an error "Expecting a selector as the first argument". What is wrong?

Sorry, that's another spec caused the error. It is working. Thank you very much

Hello
  To spec the example I mentioned before, I wrote the spec as what you suggested
#../view/group/index_spec.rb
  describe "/group/_index_spec" do
    it "should call JS function when click the button" do
      render '/group/_index'
      response.should have_tag("input[onclick=?]", "update()")
    end
  end
However, it generated an error "Expecting a selector as the first argument". What is wrong?
