title: Removing form validation causes form not to submit?
body: <p>I've removed pretty much all .js references in my Magento theme. Specifically I've removed the  onclick from the add to cart button.</p>
  
  <p>in <code>template/catalog/product/view/addtocart.phtml</code> I've removed <code>onclick="productAddToCartForm.submit(this)</code></p>
  
  <p>in <code>template/catalog/product/view/view.phtml</code> I removed this block of code...</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
  //&lt;![CDATA[
  var productAddToCartForm = new VarienForm('product_addtocart_form');
  productAddToCartForm.submit = function(button, url) {
      if (this.validator.validate()) {
          var form = this.form;
          var oldUrl = form.action;
  
          if (url) {
             form.action = url;
          }
          var e = null;
          try {
              this.form.submit();
          } catch (e) {
          }
          this.form.action = oldUrl;
          if (e) {
              throw e;
          }
  
          if (button &amp;&amp; button != 'undefined') {
              button.disabled = true;
          }
      }
  }.bind(productAddToCartForm);
  
  productAddToCartForm.submitLight = function(button, url){
      if(this.validator) {
          var nv = Validation.methods;
          delete Validation.methods['required-entry'];
          delete Validation.methods['validate-one-required'];
          delete Validation.methods['validate-one-required-by-name'];
          if (this.validator.validate()) {
              if (url) {
                  this.form.action = url;
              }
              this.form.submit();
          }
          Object.extend(Validation.methods, nv);
      }
  }.bind(productAddToCartForm);
  //]]&gt;
  &lt;/script&gt;       
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, now when I submit the form I get nothing. </p>
  
  <p>I figured to change the add to cart <code>&lt;button&gt;</code> to a proper submit. So I changed this....</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;button type="button" title="&lt;?php echo $buttonTitle ?&gt;" class="button btn-cart"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;?php echo $buttonTitle ?&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/button&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to this ...</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;input type="submit" value="&lt;?php echo $buttonTitle ?&gt;" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I do that, the form submits but I get a "Page Not Found", the URL it takes me to looks like this <code>/checkout/cart/add/uenc/aHR0cDovLzcwLjMyLjc0LjQ2L3J0bF9tYWdlbnRvL2luZGV4LnBocC9jYXRhbG9nL3Byb2R1Y3Qvdmlldy9pZC8xNQ,,/product/15/</code></p>
  
  <p>Is it not possible to submit a form the old fashioned way in Magento without javascript? If it is, can you give some pointers? </p>
  
  <p>My plan was to hook up my own jQuery validation (which is quite simple, I just need to validate that the qty field has length) and ditch some of the ridiculousness of the code above.</p>
