With Selenium IDE, how can I test if an element's inner text contains a specific string? For example:

<p id="fred">abcde</p>
'id=fred' contains "bcd" = true)

The Selenium-IDE documentation is helpful in this situation.

The command you are looking for is assertText, the locator would be id=fred and the text for example *bcd*.
