![Interactive Shell …
Basic Geb syntax looks familiar, though there are some differences with jQuery
• http://www.gebish.org/manual/current/
Key Objects
• geb.Browser
• geb.navigator.Navigator
• geb.js.JavascriptInterface
Nice Features
• DOM Inspection via CSS Selectors, Indexes, Attributes
• DOM Interaction via b.$.click()
• DOM Manipulation via jQuery Hook
