Answer 1

Because

 <INPUT TYPE="Text" VALUE="username" NAME="username" method="POST">

is on outside of your <form>
You have to copy it under <form name="myform" ..... . Also this <input> must be like this :

<INPUT TYPE="Text" VALUE="username" NAME="username">

You can use method='' parameter with <form> tag, only.
