I am using Selenium IDE for the first to create a simple regression test of a PHP input form on a web page. One of the fields is defined as a type ahead field. I enter the first 2 characters, and then click on the first matching item in the list displayed. However, when I replay the test, the input displayed in the field is "undefined". Any idea why this is happening and what is the correct action for this type of field.

<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>sales-person-input</td>
    <td>ad</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>click</td>
    <td>//div[@id='sales-person-container']/div/div[2]/ul/li[1]</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
 

Are you waiting for the list to populate before clicking on the first item? It doesn't sound like you are...

The "waitFor" prefix is very handy for just such a thing (e.g. "waitForXpathCount")
