page/form cutting off at 100% height - html

I am working on building an options page for a small website I am working on, but I have run into a rather interesting error. The bottom of my form seems to abruptly cut off at 100% browser height as seen in this picture:
http://oi39.tinypic.com/fm8cia.jpg
As soon as I refresh the page (F5), the form completes and everything works fine as seen in this picture:
http://oi40.tinypic.com/9zqerc.jpg
After fiddling with it for a while, I have noticed that the issue seems to reside with my tag, for when I remove it, the problem goes away.
Here is the code for my form tag:
<form action="r_options.php" method="post">

Here is the CSS for the ID edit_account_label:
#edit_account_label {
padding-bottom: 10px;
float: left;
}
This problem only occurs in Google Chrome (Version 26.0.1410.64 m), the code works fine in Internet Explorer 9 with no problems.
I apologize for my sloppy code, I am no professional.

Multi forms with selects but all $_POST are overwritten with last $_POST

In below test code I try to save and use 3 $_POST variables. But only the last $_POST variable is stored. The rest is overwritten with the last $_POST variable.
Purpose of the question is to select first the wanted country. Select from a table the country as selected. Then select the wanted a car_brand from the selected country. Then select the wanted company and filter this from the selected country+car_brand.
I have tried to store the 3 $_POST into a $_SESSION also tried it with $_REQUEST via type="hidden" without getting the 3 $_POST variables.
Question: what do I do wrong and how can I solve this problem?
session_start();
$content .= ' <form id="sel_country" method="POST">
<select name="country" onchange="this.form.submit()" >
<option value="NL">Netherlands</option>
<option value="DE">German</option>
<option value="GB">England</option>
</select>
</form>';
$content .= '<form id="sel_car_brand" method="POST">
<select name="brand" onchange="this.form.submit()" >
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
</form>';
$content .= ' <form id="sel_company" method="POST">
<select name="company" onchange="this.form.submit()">
<option value="dealer">Dealer</option>
<option value="service">Service</option>
<option value="import">Importer</option>
</select>
</form>';
$_SESSION['country'] = $_POST['country'];
$_SESSION['brand'] = $_POST['brand'];
$_SESSION['company'] = $_POST['company'];
var_dump($_SESSION) ;
Had a session_start() at the beginning and then stock your variable in it. Like $_SESSION['country'] = $_POST['country'] when $_POST['country'] is defined (do a var_dump() to verify it) and you'll be able to access your datas stocked in your $_SESSION.
session_start();
$content .= ' <form id="sel_country" method="POST">
<select name="country" onchange="this.form.submit()" >
<option value="NL">Netherlands</option>
<option value="DE">German</option>
<option value="GB">England</option>
</select>
</form>';
$_SESSION['country'] = $_POST['country'];
$content .= '<form id="sel_car_brand" method="POST">
<select name="brand" onchange="this.form.submit()" >
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
</form>';
$_SESSION['brand'] = $_POST['brand'];
$content .= ' <form id="sel_company" method="POST">
<select name="company" onchange="this.form.submit()">
<option value="dealer">Dealer</option>
<option value="service">Service</option>
<option value="import">Importer</option>
</select>
</form>';
$_SESSION['company'] = $_POST['company'];
var_dump($_SESSION) ;
// Edited by moliets: var_dump response: array(3) { ["country"]=> NULL ["brand"]=> NULL ["company"]=> string(6) "import" }

HTTP GET isn't working?

I have a form on a webpage that will submit data in the fields to be processed on another page.
Here is the form:
<form align="center" action="submitrivalsconfig.php" method="get">
<b>PN Operator:</b>
<select name="PNOp" value="<?php echo $data["PNOp"]?>">
<option value="=">=</option>
<option value=">">></option>
<option value="<"><</option>
<option value=">=">>=</option>
<option value="<="><=</option>
</select>
<b>PN Value: </b>
<input type="number" name="PNValue" value="<?php echo $data["PNValue"]?>" style="width:40px">
<br><br>
<b>MEL Operator:</b>
<select name="MELOp" value="<?php echo $data["MELOp"]?>">
<option value="=">=</option>
<option value=">">></option>
<option value="<"><</option>
<option value=">=">>=</option>
<option value="<="><=</option>
</select>
<b>MEL Value:</b>
<input type="number" name="MELValue" value="<?php echo $data["MELValue"]?>" style="width:40px">
<br><br>
<b>NDZ Operator:</b>
<select name="NDZOp" value="<?php echo $data["NDZOp"]?>">
<option value="=">=</option>
<option value=">">></option>
<option value="<"><</option>
<option value=">=">>=</option>
<option value="<="><=</option>
</select>
<b>NDZ Value: </b>
<input type="number" name="NDZValue" value="<?php echo $data["NDZValue"]?>" style="width:40px">
<br><br>
<b>Fuel Type:</b>
<input type="text" name="FuelType" value="<?php echo $data["FuelType"]?>" style="width:400px">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit Configuration">
</form>
Upon pressing the submit button, I am redirected to the following url:
bmratest/minipages/submitrivalsconfig.php?PNOp=%3D&PNValue=54&MELOp=%3D&MELValue=60&NDZOp=%3D&NDZValue=90&FuelType=%27CCGT%27%2C+%27COAL+IN%27%2C+%27COAL+OUT%27%2C+%27OCCGT%27%2C+%27OIL%27
Everything seems fine to me so far, but I assigned the data transferred to an array and it outputs blanks, suggesting that the $_GET details are blank and it isn't reading the information from the URL.
The superglobal you are looking for is called $_GET not $GET_.

Hope you understand my question. Sos for bad english
There is a HTML "range" input, but it's not the most common input method out there and will require some javascript with it. Other than that, the only reasonable method is PHP. Though, if you do use PHP, you can copy and paste the HTML and then insert it into your HTML file if you don't want that page to have PHP. Below are a few HTML only examples. May not work in all browsers, so your server side code should always validate. http://jsfiddle.net/h96nU/1/
The below code shows a few inputs using various methods. The range input will update to show the range value that is currently selected. The last number input uses the HTML5 pattern attribute.
input:invalid {
border: 1px solid red;
}
input:valid {
border: 1px solid green;
}
<div>
<input id="range" type="range" min="1" max="120" step="1" />
<span id="range_value">0</span>
</div>
<div>
<input type="number" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="text" />
</div>
<div>
<input type="number" min="1" max="120" step="1" id="n1" name="age" pattern="\d+" />
</div>
var input = document.getElementById('range');
input.addEventListener('change',input_change,false);
function input_change(e) {
var target = e.target || e.srcElement;
var value = target.value;
var showdiv = document.getElementById('range_value');
showdiv.textContent = value;
}
More about Data Validation in HTML can be found at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Forms/Data_form_validation
For PHP method of an age input loop, look below.
<?php
$min = 1;
$max = 100;
echo '<select name="age">';
for($i = $min; $i <= $max; $i++) {
echo '<option value="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';
?>
If you are using PHP for example you could do it like this:
<?php
$myArray = ['USA','Australia','ETC ETC ETC'];
echo '<select name="country">';
foreach ($myArray as $value) {
echo '<option value="'.$value.'">';
echo $value;
echo "</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
?>
The output of this example would be :
<select name="country">
<option value="USA">USA</option>
<option value="Australia">Australia</option>
<option value="ETC ETC ETC">ETC ETC ETC</option>
</select>
For your age selectbox:
<?php
$maxAge = 99;
echo '<select name="age">';
for ($i=1; $i < $maxAge; $i++) {
echo '<option value="'.$i.'">';
echo $i;
echo "</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
?>

Problem of parenthesis at the end of the syntax, you are closing the VALUES parenthesis but not the mysql_query one:
mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (name, email, username, password, /*birthday,*/ gender, accountType/*, creationDate*/)
VALUES ( '$name', '$email', '$username', '$password',/*STR_TO_DATE('$birthYear,$birthMonth,$birthDay','%Y,%m,%d'),*/ '$gender', '$type'/*, '$today'*/ )")

html input field issue

i'm new to html and this is probably a stupid mistake but i cant spot it. Whenever i select a input field, the cursor always jumps to the first input box. I'm guessing i missed an ending statement somewhere but i cant spot it...

Not sure if this is the reason but you have a bunch of input value's and it should only be value drop the input
First of all, you should fix your HTML. Open up your page in the browser, show the HTML source code and copy and paste it as direct input to an HTML validator. Fix all mentioned issues, and try again.
Do you still have the problem once your HTML is fixed?
