broken form submit button when styled

I have a very simple php contact form that works. I am trying to make the form look nice and everything has been smooth until I get to styling the submit button.

The button code is:

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

I would like to use css to style the button.

The code I would like to use is:

<input type="submit" id="comment-submit" value="Submit">

The CSS for id="comment-submit" is:

#comment-submit {
    width: 144px;
    height: 44px;
    display: block;
    border: 0;
    font-family: "YanoneBold", Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 18px; 
    text-transform: uppercase;
    letter-spacing: 0.5px;
    color: #fff;
    text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.35);
    padding: 0 4px 4px 0;
    margin: 30px 0 80px 0;
}

With no styling the form submits properly. With styling the form does nothing.

Instead of declaring it as an ID, declare it as a CLASS

so 

.comment_submit {
    width: 144px;
    height: 44px;
    display: block;
    border: 0;
    font-family: "YanoneBold", Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 18px; 
    text-transform: uppercase;
    letter-spacing: 0.5px;
    color: #fff;
    text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.35);
    padding: 0 4px 4px 0;
    margin: 30px 0 80px 0;
}

<input type="submit" class="comment_submit" value="Submit">

Try this, I guess may be that id is causing problems, and make dash to underscore, and just for the purpose, use a simple font instead of using a web font, and remove text-shadow property too.

If you change it to a <button type="submit" it might work or change the css to input[type=submit]{} but that might have issues in IE

Sorry. I should add it in comment but I dont have priviledge.

I copy/paste your example and it works. I have:

<form action="" method="get">
    <input type="hidden" name="ble" value="uff" />
    <input type="submit" id="comment-submit" value="Submit">
</form>

and in Chrome and Firefox it sends GET data. Maybe problem is somewhere else. One thing what is different is that your mouse cursor doesn't change.
