You could write a “then” step that takes the current response.body,
uploads it to the w3 validator, and checks the the response. Rather
than uploading you could use the ruby tidy bindings to do offline
validation which would most likely be much faster. See
http://tidy.rubyforge.org/ for more information.

I’d love to see such a thing if you did make it.
The other day, I got around this issue (I forgot to close a tag
somewhere and the page didn’t render in safari) by writing a matcher
be_valid_xml() which just tried to load the response.body into an XML
document. That was enough to catch my bug, but this would be a great
tool to have in the box.
cheers,
Matt

fyi, this goes out to w3

but required i hack it to work with stories
(in file assert_valid_asset.rb#180, add line:
method_name ||= ‘story’
But also found this, which uses tidy and is significantly faster

So
Then “the browser page should be valid” do
assert_tidy
end
