I'm trying to define a step to test the value of alt text of an image using capybara and the css selectors.

I wrote one for input values based on the readme examples:

Then /^I should see a value of "([^\"])" within the "([^\"])" input$/ do |input_value, input_id| element_value = locate("input##{input_id}").value element_value.should == input_value end

But I can't figure this one out...something like:

Then /^I should see the alttext "([^\"]*)"$/ do | alt_text | element_value = locate("img[alt]").value

Anyone know how I can locate the alt text value?
