[Wtr-general] Is there a method to do ie.contains_html() ?

[hopper]

thank for metioning that Jeff, I forget that the assert functions are 
part of TestCase.

an interesting read for that is:

http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUnitTest

and it states

      The Hierarchy

There's a hierarchy involved with unit tests. It starts at an individual 
assertion (more later), and ends at a suite (more later).

Bottom up, it looks like this:

    * *assertion* belongs to a
          o *test* which belongs to a
                + *test case* which belongs to a
                      # *test suite*
