Public bug reported:

The login form requires javascript to be enabled, yet this should be the
case. With some small code hacking to remove the js form and disable js
I can still login fine.

The js wrapper to the login form is meant to check whether cookies are
enabled, but it seems that it doesn't do that...

Message displayed to the user if js is disabled is
 'Your browser does not have javascript enabled for this site. Mahara requires javascript to be enabled before you can log in'

I would recommend removing the dependency on javascript for login, make
the assumtion that cookies are enabled (if they aren't the user will
quickly find out! as they will have to relogin after every page).
