You can pass a block to `have_selector` to nest your assertions, like:
response.should have_selector("td", :class => "status") do |td|
td.to_s.should == /moribund/i # => td is [#<Nokogiri::XML::Element ...>,
...] here
end

I'm hooked on RSpec after my first taste (thanks to
http://railstutorial.org/book/ruby-on-rails-tutorial). And of course I
have a newbish question.
Assume a contrived doc structure like:
<table class="navbar">
<tr>
<td class="status">moribund</td>
</tr>
</table>
Now lets say I want to write an RSpec controller test that will pass if
the status is "moribund" or "Moribund" or "MORIBUND".
I know I can write:
it "should be moribund" do
get :show
response.should have_selector("td", :class => "status", :content =>
"moribund")
end
... which captures the fact that the status string is inside a
"td.status" element, but is case sensitive. Alternatively I could
write:
it "should be moribund" do
get :show
response.body.should =~ /moribund/i
end
... which is case insensitive but doesn't discriminate where the string
appears in the document.
What's the right idiom to navigate to a specific place in a document
(preferably using CSS navigation syntax) AND perform a case-insensitive
test?
TIA.

P.S.: I fully appreciate that you shouldn't normally hardwire the
document structure into the test itself -- that's not what this question
is about! :)
P.P.S: I know that response is an ActionController::TestResponse object,
but haven't been able to find docs or sources for that -- where should I
look?
