Nokogiri: how to find a div by id and see what text it contains?

nokogiri, ruby-on-rails, screen-scraping

Solution

html = <<-HTML
  <html>
    <body>
      <div id="verify" style="display: none;">foobar</div>
    </body>
  </html>
HTML
doc = Nokogiri::HTML html
puts 'verified!' if doc.at_css('[id="verify"]').text.eql? 'foobar'

Problem

I just started using Nokogiri this morning and I'm wondering how to perform a simple task: I just need to search a webpage for a div like this: `<div id="verify" style="display:none"> site_verification_string </div>` I want my code to look something like this: ``` require 'nokogiri' require 'open-uri' url = h(@user.first_url) doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open(url)) if #SEARCH_FOR_DIV#.text == site_verification_string @user.save end ``` So the main question is, how do I search for that div using nokogiri? Any help is appreciated.
