Description
As an API User browsing in text-only mode without JavaScript
I need to register for an API key
So that I can access the API
Observed behavior
On the API Key Signup* page, when browsing without JavaScript, the following message is displayed:
Loading signup form...
Please enable JavaScript to signup for an api.data.gov api key.
This design decision may be an accessibility issue.
Expected behavior
I expected to see a sign up form, and to be able to complete and submit the form.

The issue names the API Key Signup page but no source files or tests. Locate that page, reproduce the behavior with JavaScript disabled, and inspect how the signup form is loaded. Done means a text-only user can view, complete, and submit the API key signup form.
