Rspec/Capybara - Select Form should trigger Onchange event when testing

I'm new to TDD and I actually wrote the code before the tests. The code itself works fine and from the main page the onChange event applies. However, when testing, even though a different option is chosen as the selected option(so the option does change), it seems that the onchange event is not actualled trigger when testing and it stays on the same page.it says expected: "/ctscans/index", got: "/" (using ==)

welcome_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'

describe "Welcome Page" do
    before {visit root_path}
    subject{page}
        describe "with Ctscan selected" do

            before {select("CT Scan", :from => "procedure")}

            it {should have_select('procedure', :selected => 'CT Scan')}
            it "redirects to" do    
                select 'MRI', :from => 'procedure'
                current_path.should == ctscans_index_path
            end
        end

end

views/welcome/index.html.erb

<%=select_tag(:procedure, options_for_select(@paths, :selected => @paths[0]),:onchange => "gotoNewPage()")%>

<script type="text/javascript"> 
function gotoNewPage() {
        if (document.getElementById('procedure').value){
            window.location.href = document.getElementById('procedure').value;
        }
}
</script>

You haven't indicated that the spec needs to use a javascript driver. Try

describe "with Ctscan selected", js: true do ...
