FireWatir and jQuery

Question

after using this excellent software called FireWatir, I am wondering if there is a way to integrate jQuery-selector-magic into my test.

My first attempt is to use firewatir method js_eval()like this

require 'rubygems'
require 'firewatir'
f = FireWatir::Firefox.new
f.js_eval("alert(42);")

The only thing I get is

JsshSocket :: JSReferenceError: Undefined warning

which is strange because other expressions like

f.js_eval("document.location.toString();")

Work like a charm!

Anyone with a clue?

Thank you and welcome

Joe
