are there any webkit equivalents to selenium's send_keys and dialog handling?

[David Morton]

Using selenium, I can send keystroke input to the page with:
 
   native.send_keys(:return)

and hit ok on dialogs with:

  page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.accept

Are there any webkit alternatives?

Hey David,

There currently isn't a quick way to send specific keys. However, you can use createEvent (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/document.createEvent) to simulate a lot of behavior together with Capybara's standard execute_script method.

Currently, capybara-webkit automatically accepts all alert/confirm dialogs.

You can fake it with execute_script. Check out some helpers I've used for a while: https://gist.github.com/1693301
