I am using Selenium IDE in Chrome.

I have trouble as it's Ext JS , so certain class names are generated. I also might be having trouble due to the class name "x-list-body" ?

I want to click on "This person here yes" , like this:

Click: //div[@class='x-list']//em[.='This person here yes']
Here is the HTML from the webpage, excuse the mess:
<div class="x-list-body">
<div id="ext-gen159" class="x-list-body-inner">
<dt style="width:100%;text-align:left;">
<em unselectable="on" "="">Woot Moot Boot</em>
<div class="x-clear">
<dt style="width:100%;text-align:left;">
<em unselectable="on" "="">This is sparta</em>
<div class="x-clear"></div></dl>
<dt style="width:100%;text-align:left;">
<em unselectable="on" "="">Henry Print</em>
<div class="x-clear"></div>
<dt style="width:100%;text-align:left;">
<em unselectable="on" "="">Minsy Blowman</em>
<div class="x-clear"></div>
<dl class="">
<dt style="width:100%;text-align:left;">
<em unselectable="on" "="">This person here yes</em>
<div class="x-clear"></div>
<dl class="">
<dt style="width:100%;text-align:left;">
<em unselectable="on" "="">Another cool person</em>
<div class="x-clear"></div>
Please do not give me JavaScript code etc..., I am using the FireFox addon IDE.
Thank you!
                How do I use that? This is what my IDE looks like, where do I put it? s32.postimg.org/ln088zfmd/image.jpg     Looks like JS to me...

                I did click:          //em[contains(text(),'steve Steve deSilva Job London')]   but sadly it just gets highlighted in red, same issue as before sorry.

                When I use the website normally? I click it and it is highlighted, next I click an arrow. s31.postimg.org/qm15vv6pn/image.jpg

Yes, class name is a problem. If you don't want an exact match, then change selector to match partial class name:
//div[contains(@class,'x-list')]//em[.='This person here yes']
Also since you are selecting a very particular text, you may not even need that div selector, unless another em on the page has exactly the same text. I.e. you may be able to use:
//em[.='This person here yes']
