I'm working on in. Unfortunately this is a pretty big change. Also, I seem to have found a bug in the latest hpricot gem. The bug causes my unit tests to fail, but it is a bug with hpricot.</p> Hey Tim. I’m working on in. Unfortunately this is a pretty big change.

Yes, can do. The real hash will be in rawattributes and

attributes

will return an unescaped Hash. So, using

attributes

directly isn’t recommended, as it’s slower, use Element#[] or
Element#getattribute instead.

Ok ok ok, salutations!!

Is there any specific problem you are seeing? I’d like to make sure I can reproduce the error you’re getting.
