if I knew how to word the question it may help. I am looking for a document that tells me how html is supposed to be implemented in a web browser. Specifically I want to know about the interaction of action=submit and onsubmit= in a <form>. I guess a spec for HTML would be a good starting point, so the question should probably be "Where do I find the official specification for HTML x.x/XHTML x.x etc?".
1. This is the wrong list for such questions (this is for editorial suggestions for publications by the XHTML2 Working Group), which are probably best addressed to your favorite search engine ("official specification for HTML" turning up the correct result on both Google and Yahoo! Search).
2. There's a catalogue of W3C technical reports and publications at: http://www.w3.org/TR/ 3. Sounds like you are looking for: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/scripts.html#adef-onsubmit http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-eventgroupings-htmlevents And probably some more general (non-W3C) introductions would help you too: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/introevents.html http://www.quirksmode.org/js/forms.html -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
