I need to click the 'Ok' button inside an alert window with a Selenium command. I've tried assertAlert or verifyAlert but they don't do what I want.

It's possible the click the 'Ok' button? If so, can someone provide me an example of the Selenium IDE command?

Try Selenium 2.0b1. It has different core than the first version. It should support popup dialogs according to documentation:

Popup Dialogs

Starting with Selenium 2.0 beta 1, there is built in support for handling popup dialog boxes. After you’ve triggered and action that would open a popup, you can access the alert with the following:

Java

Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();

Ruby

driver.switch_to.alert

This will return the currently open alert object. With this object you can now accept, dismiss, read it’s contents or even type into a prompt. This interface works equally well on alerts, confirms, prompts. Refer to the JavaDocs for more information.
