My potatoes are being grown in 20" containers but have now reached some 18 to 20" above the rim of the container what is causing this to occur

How deeply did you plant the tubers in the container? It is perfectly natural for the foliage to grow up to 18 inches, i the ground you simply keep ridging them up until you can't ridge anymore.

Are they in the sun or in shade? If they are in shade the tops are growing up looking for the light.
