watir-webdriver: Validating the Color of an element

[hillary]

When there's an error, the application i'm testing changes the color of the element, a text_field, changes to red. Currently I validate that the text_field is red like this: 

b.text_field(:id, "text_field").document.currentstyle.color.should == '#444' 

I also will did to validate the color of a div message that tells the user that changes have been saved. i use the document.currentstyle.color for this also. 

Thanks.

WebDriver doesn't give direct access to the underlying DOM object like other implementations. Instead you can use b.text_field(:id, "text_field").style("color").

Thanks. 

Just to confirm, the color would be it's html value (#444), so it'd be .style("#444")?

No, .style returns the value of the given CSS property. So .style("color").should == "#444".
