After sandbox is installed, all jQuery call is redirected in sandbox context (an iframe) and be reset after each test. You can use ‘_jQuery()’ or ‘_$()’ to call jQuery in jspec context.

Utility ‘sandbox()’ return a jQuery object from sandbox:

* sandbox() => return sandbox body
* sandbox('<p></p>') => append to sandboy body an `p' element and return it
* sandbox('my-fixture') => append a sandbox body the content of fixture file and return it (child of body element)

First install [gem](gemcutter.org/) then execute:

$ sudo gem install jspec-jquery-sandbox

At which point go into your projext folder and execute:

$ echo "require 'jspec/jquery/sandbox/installable'" > spec/commands/jquery_sandbox_command.rb
$ jspec install jquerysandbox

This command add ‘jspec.jquery.sandbox.js’ and ‘jspec.jquery.sandbox.html’ files into your ‘spec/support’ folder.

After this step edit ‘dom.html’ file to require sanbox lib after jquery and add iframe with sandbox source.

...
<script src="./lib/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="./support/jspec.jquery.sandbox.js"></script>
<script>
  function runSuites() {
...
  <iframe id="sandbox" name="sandbox" src="./support/jspec.jquery.sandbox.html" style="display:none"></iframe>
</body>
...

Just copy ‘jspec.jquery.sandbox.js’ and ‘jspec.jquery.sandbox.html’ files lib folder to your project ‘spec/support’ folder.

After this step edit ‘dom.html’ file to require sanbox lib after jquery and add iframe with sandbox source.

...
<script src="./lib/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="./support/jspec.jquery.sandbox.js"></script>
<script>
  function runSuites() {
...
  <iframe id="sandbox" name="sandbox" src="./support/jspec.jquery.sandbox.html" style="display:none"></iframe>
</body>
...
