Javascript Submit Object
The Submit object represents a submit button in an HTML form. For each instance of an <input type="submit"> tag in an HTML form, a Submit object is created.
You can access a Submit object by indexing the elements array (by number or name) of the corresponding form or by using getElementById().
IE: Internet Explorer, F: Firefox, N: Netscape, W3C: World Wide Web Consortium (Internet Standard).
