How to get form ID from IE

[psychoblast]

Trying to make a youtube browser and need a script to be able to comment on youtube without actually clicking on the box and pressing comment. Here is what I have so far:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl4opbNt8_E")
_IELoadWait($oIE)
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "textarea")
$oQuery1 = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "comment")
$uname="Yourusername"
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery1,$uname)

$oForm1 = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)
$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm1, 1)

might be way off but so far it opens up IE to a youtube video Cant seem to get the form ID for the textfield for the comment.

also in google chrome when you click inspect element for the texfield I get this:

<textarea onfocus="yt.www.comments.initForm(this);" class="yt-uix-form-textarea comments-textarea" name="comment"></textarea>

Here I also have a similar script but I am not sure I am going in the right direction:

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl4opbNt8_E")
_IELoadWait($oIE)
$oDoc = _IEDocGetObj($oIE)
$oArray = $oDoc.getElementsByTagName ("input")
For $element In $oArray
If $element.Name = "comment" Then
_IEFormElementSetValue($element, "hello")
msgbox(0,"","Found it")
Endif
Next

Really close to getting it to work. Got the elements' names just one problem. If I want to comment i have to first click on the textbox i tried using IEAction and use click but it doesnt click on the textbox here is what I got:

#include<IE.au3>
_IEErrorHandlerRegister()
_IELoadWaitTimeout(5000)
$oIE=_IECreate("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjmeSwPig_8",0,1,1)
$oForm=_IEGetObjByName($oIE,"comment")
_IEAction($oForm, "click")
$oSubmit=_IEGetObjByName($oIE,"submit")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oForm,"Thanks")
_IEAction($oSubmit,"click")
_IEErrorHandlerDeRegister()

edit: got that to work usign IEAtction focus. but now the button won't click. Here is the latest script:

#include<IE.au3>
_IEErrorHandlerRegister()
_IELoadWaitTimeout(5000)
$oIE=_IECreate("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjmeSwPig_8",0,1,1)
$oForm=_IEGetObjByName($oIE,"comment")
_IEAction($oForm, "focus")
_IEFormSubmit($oForm)
$oSubmit=_IEGetObjByName($oIE,"add_comment")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oForm,"Thanks")
_IEAction($oSubmit,"click")
_IEErrorHandlerDeRegister()

Only thing I seem to be missing is the name for the post button. any help finding it?
