Hi All,
So, not being familiar with the differences between xemacs and emacs,
I downloaded the javascript-mode.el and began playing with it.
The assumption that I'd LIKE to make is that all .el files that work
with xemacs will also work with emacs. I see no reason to think
otherwise, but I thought I'd ask.

Don't make that assumption. It's wrong.
It's possible to write *.el files that work on both flavors, and many
people write them like this, but it's also possible to write *.el
files that work on only one flavor. (It's possible to write portable
C code, but not all C code is portable. Same thing.)
