[YouTube-API] Re: Uploading from browser

Hey Jeffrey,
I've figured out the problem. For some reason, when I put the form
into the html, one of the fields changes to <input id="file"
type="file" $p.name="file">, where name is replaced by $p.name
I manually changed it in firebug and managed to upload a test video!
This seems like an html problem, not one with Youtube API.
Thanks,
Bo
