Nigel deliberately made the login form js-only while Mahara is still
dependent on js.  He figured we should fix the important things that
still have a js requirement before letting people log in and cruelly
dashing their hopes.

Title:
  Login form requires Javascript

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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).
