If Microsoft INTERNET Explorer displays your document normally, but other browsers display your plain HTML source, then most likely your web SERVER is sending the document with the MIME type "text/plain". Your web server needs to be configured to send that filename with the MIME type "text/html". OFTEN, using the filename extension ".html" or ".htm" is all that is necessary. If you are seeing this behavior while viewing your HTML documents on your local Windows filesystem, then your text editor may have added a ".txt" filename extension AUTOMATICALLY. You should RENAME filename.html.txt to filename.html so that Windows will treat the file as an HTML document.

There have been several attempts to do this, but I'm not aware of any really good source of comparisons between the browsers. The trouble is that there are many different versions of each browser, and many different tags. All current browsers should support the tags in the OFFICIAL HTML 3.2 SPECIFICATION, but the major ones ALSO support nonstandard tags and sometimes have slightly different IMPLEMENTATIONS. One place that has fairly good compatibility info is Browsercaps.

Use document.forms[0].SUBMIT();
(0 REFERS to the index of the FORM – if you have more than one form in a page, then the first one has the index 0, second has index 1 and so on).

ECMASCRIPT is yet another NAME for JavaScript (other names include LiveScript). The current JavaScript that you SEE SUPPORTED in browsers is ECMAScript revision 3.

JavaScript was developed by Brendan Eich of Netscape; Java was developed at Sun Microsystems. While the two languages share some common syntax, they were developed independently of each other and for DIFFERENT AUDIENCES. Java is a full-fledged programming language tailored for NETWORK computing; it includes hundreds of its own objects, including objects for creating user interfaces that appear in Java applets (in Web browsers) or standalone Java applications. In contrast, JavaScript relies on whatever environment it's operating in for the user interface, such as a Web document's form elements. 

JavaScript was initially called LiveScript at Netscape while it was under development. A licensing deal between Netscape and Sun at the last minute let Netscape plug the "Java" name into the name of its scripting language. Programmers use ENTIRELY different tools for Java and JavaScript. It is also not uncommon for a programmer of one language to be ignorant of the other. The two languages don't rely on each other and are intended for different purposes. In some ways, the "Java" name on JavaScript has confused the world's understanding of the differences between the two. On the other hand, JavaScript is MUCH easier to learn than Java and can offer a gentle introduction for newcomers who want to graduate to Java and the kinds of applications you can develop with it.

JAVASCRIPT is a general-purpose programming language designed to let programmers of all skill LEVELS control the behavior of software objects. The language is used most widely today in Web browsers whose software objects tend to represent a variety of HTML elements in a document and the document itself. But the language can be--and is--used with other kinds of objects in other environments. For example, Adobe Acrobat Forms USES JavaScript as its underlying scripting language to glue together objects that are unique to the forms generated by Adobe Acrobat. THEREFORE, it is important to distinguish JavaScript, the language, from the objects it can communicate with in any PARTICULAR environment. When used for Web documents, the scripts go directly inside the HTML documents and are downloaded to the browser with the rest of the HTML tags and content. 

JavaScript is a platform-independent,event-driven, interpreted client-side scripting and programming language developed by Netscape Communications Corp. and Sun Microsystems.
