What is the problem with the Alert function in the Selenium IDE

Question

How do I verify or assert an alert command with a message that contains a variable in the form of text?

For example, I have to capture an alert command with this particular message: Answer number (var id_answer) successfully accepted. id_answer is the variable and I don't know if this value should be present before the alert command is written. This alert is triggered for a flash command in a controller, for example (in Rails). And I need to simulate the click the button "ok" inside an alert window with a selenium command too. Is it possible?

Can anyone help me with this by providing an example with the complete syntax command in Selenium IDE?

To simulate the button OK and click it, you could use command assertAlert: helps in getting an alert has the same effect as manually clicking OK. You could also use a getAlert function: It helps in retrieving the message of a JavaScript alert generated during the previous action, or else it fails if there are no alerts.
