richfaces

I'm testing a richfaces application with selenium. It works fine, unless I use reRender. (for those unfamiliar with richfaces - whenever an ajax request finished, parts of the DOM are updated/chagned/removed).

So, after a reRender selenium (the IDE at least) fails to locate the elements which were within the reRendered area. Both FireBug and WebDeveloper locate the elements, and on "view source" the elements are there.

So, is there a way to tell selenium to update its DOM "knowledge" with the latest changes?

Firefox 3.5.6, latest version of Selenium IDE.
