I've had some success on a few sites with the following
privoxy 
customization, in the /etc/privoxy/user.filter file
(the file you need to add this to may be different with
different
versions/builds of privoxy):

FILTER: js-submits bypass particularly annoying JavaScript
submits

s|</form|<input type="submit"
name="submit" value="submit
(privoxy)"> </form|ig
s|(<form[^>]*>)|$1 <input
type="submit" name="submit"
value="submit (privoxy)">
|ig

The second edit is needed because some pages don't bother
with
formalities like properly "formed" HTML.
I activate this by adding js-submits to 'myfilters' in
'user.action'.

Two sites/pages this has frequently been usefull on are the
inner
pages of reserving material on the Los Angeles Public
Library,
(http://www.lapl.org)
and the Trip Planner for the (L.A. County) Metropolitan
Transit Authority
(http://www.mta.net).

It should be noted that w3m and members of the links family
may have a command, not necessarily mapped by default to any
key,
to force submission of an HTML form whether it has a proper
HTML submit button or not.
