That’s why we don’t have submit buttons. =)
But in the context of webrat, if there is a form w/o a submit button,
how can you submit it? Obviossly, clicks_button doesn’t work anymore.
Thanks,

During regular use in a browser, how is your form submitted?

When the user clicks a button, but all of the handy dandy work is done
in unobtrusive-style javascript. It’s not a submit button. It’s a
CSS-made button with listeners attached,

I’m afraid I can’t be of much help with that. I’ve barely used Webrat.
Sorry, mate!

submit button there that gets replaced by the javascript with your
custom button?

In fact that is really,IMO, what unobtrusive JS means. People without
JS should still have buttons and can use the site, they just don’t get
all the pretty colors.
If you don’t want to hide it with JS you could also just embed the
buttons within tags.

Sounds like this is out of RSpec / Story land. Maybe you guys should
petition Brian to start a Webrat mailing list (or just start one
yourself).
