_FFClick doesn't work on button?

[Makalele]

So there's a simple problem:

an object to click:

<button class=" yt-uix-button yt-uix-button-urgent uploader-overlay-visible" onclick="yt.analytics.urchinTracker('/Events/UploadPage/UploadButton');;return false;" id="start-upload-button" type="button"><span class="yt-uix-button-content">Prześlij film wideo</span></button>

and this doesn't work:

_FFClick("start-upload-button", "id")

here's log:

this one doesn't work too:

_FFClick(_FFXPath("//*[@id='start-upload-button']"))

MozRepl installed ofc, FF Connected and ff.au3 included.

Hello Makalele,

It appears you are calling the name tag from the element, not the control id. You might want to try this instead:

_FFClick("start-upload-button", "name")

I found the documentation on _FFClick() here, and the full FF.au3 documentation in English here

I believe automation in YT services is against YouTube's terms of usage.

Dispatching event on this button is blocked by youtube's itself - scripts preventing 'botting/hacking/automation' are the main reason of this topic. So I refuse finding solution and...

I report this topic.
