title: Can Selenium IDE verify text on an XML page
body: <p>I have an application that for one of its pages returns an XML string (type text/xml). The result is returned "inline" so that when I load that page in Firefox I see the XML string.</p>
  
  <p>I want to use the Selenium IDE plugin in Firefox to verify that some text is present on this page. However, when I try to do this with the <code>VerifyTextPresent</code> command I get the error <code>Couldn't access document.body. Is this HTML page fully loaded?</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Is it even possible to do this kind of check in Selenium on XML output? If so, how?</p>
  
  <p>Here is a snippet of what the page produces:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
  &lt;alerts time_generated="2011-01-20 20:34:01" version="2.00" time_generated_epoch="1295584441"&gt;
    &lt;alert&gt;
      &lt;client_updates/&gt;
      &lt;contact_firstname&gt;Brian&lt;/contact_firstname&gt;
      ...
  </code></pre>
