The "document" object, and the form object, are nothing more than simple 
properties of the global object.  You can simulate this with typical 
javascript:

   document = new Object();
   document.forms = new Array();
   document.forms[0] = new Object();
   document.forms[0].submit = new Function() {}

This can be done from C as well: (forgive any errors, I'm not a C 
programmer)

   JSObject *global;
   JSObject *doc;
   JSObject *forms;
   JSObject *form;
   JSFunction *submit;
   global = JS_GetGlobalObject(cx);

   // document object
   doc = JS_DefineObject(cx, global, "document", nil, nil, 0);
   // array of forms
   forms = JS_NewArrayObject(cx, 0, nil);
   // make the forms a property of the document object
   JS_DefineProperty(cx, doc, "forms", OBJECT_TO_JSVAL(forms), nil, nil, 0);
   // create a form object
   form = JS_NewObject(cx, nil, nil, forms);
   // add the form to the list of forms
   JS_DefineElement(cx, forms, 0, OBJECT_TO_JSVAL(form), nil, nil, 0);
   // now create the submit function for the form
   submit = JS_NewFunction(cx, my_submit, 0, 0, form, "submit");

Then declare a function (of type JSNative) called my_submit, and it's 
called every time someone calls document.forms[0].submit().  You'll then 
have to take into account named forms, pages with more than one form, etc.

I haven't done any error checking, and some of my code could be wrong, 
but hopefully you'll get the idea.
