1) What methods exactly cause the "scripted submit" flag to be set?
It's obviously set if you call form.submit(), but will it be set in
these two cases:
HTML:<form><input type="submit"></form>
JS: form.elements[0].click()
or
HTML:<form><input type="submit"></form>
JS: form.elements[0].dispatchEvent( evt ) /* where evt is a 'click'
event object */
I believe the answer should be yes in both cases but I'm not sure if
it's clear from the spec.
As far as I know, the "scripted-submit" flag is only set when you call
.submit() on the form element.
2) Is the event fired synchronously? (And is it fired synchronously
for all three cases of scripted submits mentioned above?)
Again, I think the answer is yes but I couldn't find this information
in the spec when looking for it.
Like you, I didn't find the reference in the specs but I believe the
event has to be fired synchronously given that you can cancel the
submission by calling event.preventDefault(). Having the event fired
asynchronously would be uselessly hard to manage.
