The form is missing the runat=server tag.

For the asp:Button to trigger a server-side event, it needs to be in a form that has the runat="server" attribute set. This is true for all server controls. ( http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/aspnet_forms.asp )

Your form seems to be trying to call JavaScript instead.
