Can't used Stored Variables in Selenium IDE

I use Selenium IDE to make some test. When I store variable like this :

<tr>
    <td>store</td>
    <td>RandomProductRef</td>
    <td>XXX</td>
</tr>

I can't use it sometimes like this :

<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>css=#ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder2_ChildPlaceHolder2_txtSearch</td>
    <td>${RandomProductRef}</td>
</tr>

It type ${RandomProductRef} in the input... I've used the same way for an auth form and its works

Someone know why ? Thanks

You should change the first command to save the text "XXX" to the variable "RandomProductRef".

<tr>
    <td>store</td>
    <td>XXX</td>
    <td>RandomProductRef</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>css=#ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder2_ChildPlaceHolder2_txtSearch</td>
    <td>${RandomProductRef}</td>
</tr>

You should set variable name to the value input of Selenium IDE:

<tr>
    <td>store</td>
    <td>XXX</td>
    <td>RandomProductRef</td>
</tr>

Then 

<tr>
    <td>echo</td>
    <td>${RandomProductRef}</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

gives XXX

The only reason I could see that not working, is because your selector #ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder2_ChildPlaceHolder2_txtSearch might be invalid at the time of execution.

Make sure that that element is present at the time of executing your type action, and that should work.
