Nitghwatch.js -- assert.hidden on just part of the page

Question

How can you apply 'assert.hidden' (or any other assertion/command, for that matter) not to 'browser' but to a part of the page, e.g. a table?

So, instead of:

browser.assert.hidden('#whatever')

Can one do something like this?

('#table_id').assert.hidden('#whatever')

This suggestion does not work for me as it is above.

A custom command can be written, but my question is whether this can be done directly.

You could use CSS path or XPATH to select part of the page

Thanks for your answer. But the thing is when I substitute 'browser' for some selector, it does not work. Are you saying it should work? Can 'browser' in 'browser.assert.hidden(selector) be changed to 'anotherselector.assert.hidden(selector)'? That's the question. :) – Salas Nov 21 '14 at 16:48

Maybe I'm mis-understanding what you're asking.. but it seems like you could just do:

browser.assert.hidden('#table_id #whatever')

After all you're just using CSS selectors to validate the particular item you want to confirm is there and browser is the root of all these elements.
