I think you did like this:

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MasterContent" runat="server">
  <form id="form1" runat="server">

 </form>
</asp:Content>

The form tag isn't needed. because you already have the same tag in the master page.

So you just remove that and it should be working.
