Working on pages with AJAX

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML
AJAX is not a new programming language, but a new way to use
existing standards.
AJAX is the art of exchanging data with a server, and update parts of
a web page – without reloading the whole page.
AJAX is a technique for creating fast and dynamic web pages.

Start Selenium IDE
Record some steps – run the script. It fails some where then,

Right-click on the step that failed so that the Selenium IDE context menu
appears.
Click on Insert New Command.
In the Command select box, type waitForElementPresent or select it from
the drop-down list.
In the Target box, add the target that is used in the verifyText command.
Run the test again, and it should pass this time

The following commands make up the waitFor set of commands, but this is not an exhaustive list:
waitForAlertNotPresent
waitForAlertPresent
waitForElementPresent
waitForElementNotPresent waitForTextPresent
waitForTextNotPresent
waitForPageToLoad
waitForFrameToLoad
