Values are read in the order in which they appear in the selector. You can use substitution for ID, class name, attribute value or any of the values uses in pseudo classes. For example: assert_select "div#? a[href=?]", /id-\d+/, url_for(:action=>"index") It will match the ID attribute of each div based on the pattern id-nnnn, and will match the links that point to the URL for the action "index". Kevin,
