Kamal, I have updated the steps to illustrate how you can do this with webrat and also updated the tar file. Also, if webrat doesn’t do something exactly like you want it to it has a very small code base and is very easy to tweak.

Sure you can… My step is not wrapping that functionality but it is easy to do. From webrats docs:
# Verifies that a an option element exists on the current page with the specified
# text. You can optionally restrict the search to a specific select list by
# assigning options[:from] the value of the select list’s name or
# a label. Stores the option’s value to be sent when the form is submitted.
#
# Examples:
# selects “January”
# selects “February”, :from => “event_month”
# selects “February”, :from => “Event Month”
