[Javascript] Event "Handlers" (Literally)

Case sensitive! this.form.onsubmit()

Otherwise this works perfectly. If you define an event handler, you just 
define a method for an object (although as an extra special service the 
method is called when the event takes place on the object).

image.onmouseover()

executes the mouseover event handler of the image (if any).
