The submit and reset event types are not specified in the DOM 3 Events standard. This is a quote from that standard:
The change, submit, and reset events
were removed, since they were specific
to HTML forms, and are specified in
HTML5.
However, I am unable to find their specifications in the HTML5 standard.
Can you help me find them? You can load the single-page version of HTML5 here and then use CTRL + F.
They’re in the list of event types that must be supported on HTML elements but with no details; just their names. Are you looking for more than that?
Another source: the WHATWG group is developing what they call an evolving HTML spec; they no longer talk about HTML5 as such, but admit that what they are working on is HTML 5. They have more details about the submit and reset events.
