Submit Button not Working in php script - By Pressing Nothing Happens

Question

I do not know why the submit button doesn't work. When I click on it, nothing happens. What is What is Mistake don't know? Here is code:

<form action=members.php method=post>

<br><br><Center><table><tr><td colspan=2 align=center><h3>Members Login Area</h3></td></tr>
<tr><td>Member's ID</td><td><input type=text name=id></td></tr>
<tr><td>Password</td><td><input type=password name=password></td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>
<a href="forgot.php" onclick="doexit=false;"><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="1" color="#000000"><b>Forgot Your Password?</b></font></a></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2 align=center><input type=submit value="Log In"></td></tr>         
</table></form>

For starters you need to clean that syntax up. Put quotes around html attributes if they are not integers. Get rid of <center>, <font>, width attribute, align attribute and use CSS. Consider putting the h3 and the input button outside of the table instead of using colspan, unless it's crucial for layout or design. — irregularexpressions

Try using different browser or may be you have nested forms. This particular form is working well. I tested it on my machine. — Gaurav Pandey

font tag and missing end-tag or /> at the end of inputs is a bit creepy. Otherwise, the code is working in chrome, IE, opera and FF. What exactly doesn't work? — V-X

        <td colspan="2" align="center">

      <tr>
        <td>

          <input type="password" name="password">

HTML5 doesn't require that anymore. action=members.php method=post is perfectly valid.

html never required qoutes

<input type=submit value="Log In">

should be

<input type='submit' value="Log In">

and its like type="something" not type=something

the structure of input is

<input type='keyword' > and keyword could be from this list (w3.org)
