Is it "brittle" to test for specific css selectors that are tied to page
details? A typical case is where one has a button to drive in webrat
and instead of using the button text we use the associated id value
instead.
It is if your art department refuses to stop putting styles on ID tags!
Other than that, if you need more than one TR, for example, and your test should
scrape them up and look at them, searching for their class is nice.
Does anyone here allow their art departments to directly edit and check in
html.erb files? I suppose that would change things!
