My guess is that I don't know javascript
too well and am doing something wrong that IE forgives but Firefox does
not.

Bingo. IE is more forgiving about invalid (eg. Older) javascript, and
tries to figure out what you mean. Assuming "S1" is the ID on the form,
what you'll want is.

Var theForm = document.getElementById ('S1');
theForm.action= Action;
theForm.submit();

See http://www.w3schools.com/HTMLDOM/met_doc_getelementbyid.asp

Of couse, when you get tired of typing document.getElementById (and
remembering the correct casing) you will then "upgrade" to prototype
(prototypejs.org) and type:

Var theForm = $('S1');
