Answer 1

Do you necessarily have to use XHTML? I'd use Python and BeautifulSoup, myself.

(Edit: I was confused - I was thinking of XSLT, not XHTML, and I thought "why would you use XSLT for someting like this?". XHTML is fine, and my recommendation of Python and BeautifulSoup still stands.)

This ruby gem looks like it could be useful to you:

I haven't personally used it, but it claims to basically do what you're asking for.

Answer 3

I've had, and still have, the same need on many of my projects. In my case I'm looking for anything with the class 'error'. This is supported by the TestPlan product in it's verification engine.

In my case, as a quick example, I have several "Web" states and my generic verify script is:

CheckNot //div[@class='error']

Now the way TestPlan works is that every state within "Web" will first run this generic verify script.

If you're interested I could help you come up with the exact syntax needed to do your check.
