Hi @sjtipton
It was tested in Capybara 1.1.1.
If you test it in Capybara 2.0, please let me know if it works.
Thanks!

For current version of capybara and choosen this working:

  def chosen_select(css_selector, value)
    page.evaluate_script(%{$('#{css_selector}').val('#{value}').trigger("chosen:updated");})
  end
