Selenium RC Problems with XPath

I am using Selenium RC with chrome mode for Firefox to automate test cases for a web application. I write scripts in Java using TestNG and Eclipse. Now to the main thing:

I'm having problems with Selenium RC for recognizing certain XPath. I am checking my XPaths with the XPath-Checker extension for Firefox, which shows no errors. Then I test it in the Selenium IDE to make sure XPath is recognized. Even the IDE recognizes the element. But his Selenium RC just does not recognize. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

In particular, I am trying to click on a specific area given by:

html/body/form/div[@id='someid1']/div[@class='someClass']/div[@id='someid2']/div[@id='someid3']/div[@id='someid4']/div[@title='titleOfTheElement']

Then I also tried:

//div[@title='titleOfTheElement']
xpath=//div[@title='Automated User']
xpath=/descendant::div[@title='Automated User']

Nothing yet!

1) Can anyone suggest what might be wrong, or is Selena known to have XPath problems?

Are you sure that the page is loaded correctly using RC, i.e. Do you see the browser open and the page loading?

Perhaps your script is faster than a webpage. Try to wait a while. how can you usewaitForCondition("selenium.isElementPresent("ElementID")","20000");

As nothg worng seems with xpath.try, this may help you.
