Given /^that I enter a false date or incorrect format$/ do
  ie.form(:id, 
'options-for-RTK::VOD::Reports::XtnsByProvider').text_field(:id, 
'date_range_1').set('02292011')
  ie.form(:id, 
'options-for-RTK::VOD::Reports::XtnsByProvider').text_field(:id, 
'date_range_2').set('06122012')
end
 
When /^I click go$/ do
  ie.button(:name, 'go').click
end
 
Then /^I will see the date auto correct to a new format$/ do
  assert (ie.form(:id, 
'options-for-RTK::VOD::Reports::XtnsByProvider').text_field(:id, 
'date_range_1').exists('**/**/2012')
end
 
in the first step 02 29 2011 is not a valid date, so in the second step, we 
have a button 'GO' that regenerates the page. What is expected to happen is 
that the 02 29 2011 will revert to the first day of the most recent week, 
so this date will change always, so I need to validate the format mainly 
and confirm that it is 2012 if possible.
