ruby-on-rails

I have a JavaScript-heavy Rails app which I am testing in watir. I have two specific testing requirements:

I need to be able to simulate moving the mouse to a specific area of the screen (or at least triggering the onmouseover event for a div)
Evaluating a snippet of JavaScript once the above has happened to see if a flag is set correctly

I haven't been able to figure out how to do this in watir. Any ideas on how to do this?
