Of the several ways available to test for this, what would be the
preferred way to see if the following is present in an html document
WITHOUT actually following the link?
<a href="/users/new">
response.should have_tag('a[href=?]','/users/new')
I tried this:
response.body.should have_text('href="/users/new"')
Or
response.should include_text('href="/users/new"')
have_text should be used "when you want to match the whole string or
whole body"
include_text should be used "when you either don’t know or don’t care
where on the page this text appears."

But this test fails, even though the rake features report is this:
expected "href=\"/users/new\"", got ...
... </tr>\n\n</table>\n\n<br />\n\n<a href=\"/users/new\">New
user</a>\n\n</div>\n\r\n\r\n ...
So, I am nonplussed by the report that it did not find what was
present.
