Selblock commands do not run when Selenium IDE scripts are run on different browsers #9

I had created selenium scripts through IDE and used forxml command. For this I had added user extension Selblock plugin to IDE. It was working successfully on Firefox browser. When using Selenium server and IE Driver Server , I ran the created script on IE , forxml command is not getting recognized. [error] Method is not present on Selenium interface: forXml This error is coming. Other normal commands of Selenium IDE are working fine. Let me know if I need to add this user extension again somewhere while running on IE. Please let me know how to get the script in working state ?

Selblocks is not currently supported for use in Selenium Server.

Feel free to experiment with that. Note however that the forxml feature uses the browser's XPath engine, which is very poorly supported on Internet Explorer. I have seen XPath expressions that Firefox executes in milliseconds, run for many minutes in IE, or just fail mysteriously.
