title: Selenium IDE - Verifying hidden/visible verification messages?
body: <p>There's a webpage I'm trying to test that has multiple textboxes. Each textbox has its own specific validation message that is hidden.</p>
  
  <p>Before an incorrect value is entered, I am use <strong>'verifyNotVisible'</strong> in order to confirm that there is no validation message being shown to the user.  This part passes just fine.</p>
  
  <p>Afterwards, I have selenium type in invalid characters to make the validation message show.</p>
  
  <p>The problem I'm having at this point is that while the validation message <em>is visible</em> to me, Selenium is still failing at the <strong>'verifyVisible'</strong> line right after entering the invalid characters.</p>
  
  <p>The following is what I have in Selenium:</p>

  <p>Note that the validation messages are set to hidden prior to having invalid characters entered.  Additionally, both <strong>'assertValue'</strong> and <strong>'verifyTextPresent'</strong> are passing before and after the validation message is being shown.  </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of a way to have Selenium pass the 'verifyVisible' portion correctly?</p>
