Nokogiri using hexadecimal character references
Reported by Zach Dennis | November 30th, 2008 @ 10:06 PM
My app is producing:
<option value="5">John 3 Doe – Location 4</option>
However when webrat parses it with Nokogiri it returns:
<option value="5">John 3 Doe – Location 4</option>
My feeble attempt to produce a failing spec in webrat itself failed. I am using the latest webrat as of a few minutes ago. The actual response body that webrat gets includes the un-encoded option text, so I am ruling out that my app is generating the hexadecimal character references.
All of this makes things like the following fail:
selects "John 3 Doe - Location 4", :from => "label"
I am using the latest from webrat and also Nokogiri 1.0.6.

This can be closed. The hyphen we were outputting was really a dash. Nokogiri was doing the right thing. Programmer error.
