Note that we just updated to the latest version of env.js on Friday, so Prototype should be working a lot better. Also note that I usually don't recommend "triggering" the jQuery events manually. Instead I do something like this: $("#some-button").click(function(){ doSomething(this)}); Then I write a spec for the doSomething() method. Basically we're trusting that jQuery will ferry the event properly, just like we trust Rails to ferry the incoming request properly. That way we end up just testing our application's unique behavior.

It's bundled with an old version of env.js; upgrading to a newer version helps a lot with Prototype compatibility. Unfortunately the latest from github is broken in other ways. I had my best success with giannichiappetta's fork (http://github.com/giannichiappetta/blue-ridge/tree/master) - actually the August 5 version - but in the end I just ended up running the tests in Firefox. On the bright side, now I have tests I can run in Firefox! I just tried out Blue Ridge too.

I can see consistency problems arising between your Rails view and the fixture you're running your tests against. Do you think this is possible/worth it?
