I have a while loop generated table that looks like the following:

<table>
<tr>
    <th>Date</th>
    <th>Pushups</th>
    <th>Delete</th>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>11-01-2012</td>
    <td>28</td>
    <td>
        <form action="../workout_tracker/delete_pushups.php" method="get" id="Delete1">
            <input type="hidden" value="253" name="pushups_id" />
            <input type="hidden" value="/workout_tracker/pushups-tracker/" name="current_page" />
            <input type="submit" value="Delete" form="Delete1" />
        </form>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>11-02-2012</td>
    <td>33</td>
    <td>
        <form action="../workout_tracker/delete_pushups.php" method="get" id="Delete2">
            <input type="hidden" value="246" name="pushups_id" />
            <input type="hidden" value="/workout_tracker/pushups-tracker/" name="current_page" />
            <input type="submit" value="Delete" form="Delete2" />
        </form>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>11-03-2012</td>
    <td>43</td>
    <td>
        <form action="../workout_tracker/delete_pushups.php" method="get" id="Delete3">
            <input type="hidden" value="39" name="pushups_id" />
            <input type="hidden" value="/workout_tracker/pushups-tracker/" name="current_page" />
            <input type="submit" value="Delete" form="Delete3" />
        </form>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>

The problem is that the first “Delete” form in the first row of the table isn’t submitting. When I click, it doesn’t do anything.

There is a form higher up on the page, but it closes and has validated. I get the same response in Chrome, Firefox, and IE.

UPDATE:
In a different form higher in the markup (not shown), the form tag had not been closed. I had </for>…

    Do any of the other delete forms work or is it just the first one?

    Open up your browser console/debugger and look for any errors on page load or when you click the button.

    The only thing that looks as a possible problem is the form attribute of the submit input element. The link below shows that it’s new in HTML5 and the only browser that doesn’t support it yet is IE. It could be that you need to update to the latest version of your browser.
