im Using selenium version 2.8.0 and FF 31.0 on Mac OS X and the scripts are in HMTL Format

My work involving checking the process/flow of our website and now i am faced with the problem of automating the uploading of excel file to the website

right now the script command will click on "file upload" button on the website and a window will pop up for me to select my excel file in my finder but i have add a command that pause for say 10seconds to give me time to manually select the file.

curent scripts commands are:

click on the "select file" button on FF

Pause 10seconds while i find and open excel file to be upload

i tried to change to format to java or C# under options > format tab but it doesnt allow me to run the scripts after editing the command in the "source" tab.

Am i missing some plugins to allow me to edit my scripting command in other formats?

File upload is fairly easier than file download. If you write a your selector correctly 

 Driver.Sendkeys("filepath") should simply upload the file

It sounds like you're using Selenium IDE. You'll need to migrate to Selenium WebDriver if you want more sophisticated language features. See this answer for more.

This question has a working Python snippet that uploads a file, though annoying the file selector dialog box doesn't go away once the file is selected.
