$password = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn,$password);
// attempt insert query execution
$sql = "INSERT INTO users (loginid, password ) VALUES ('$loginid', '$password')";

The inputs inside your form tag do not have names. Try this for login:
<input type="text" id="loginid" required="required" name="loginid"/>
and this for password:
<input type="password" id="password" required="required" name="password"/>
It would be nice if you would protect your users against XSS attacks and to use encryption when you store a password. Also, you should structure your code and make sure your HTML is valid.
