I have a huge form, page count upto 15 in .doc format which am trying to build into html in order to make it avaliable online where the user will fill such form and its details will be save in database. But I do not want to have a long html page rather I would like to divide the form and facilite the site with previous and next buttons. But I am failing to find out how will I manage data storage till the user reaches last page and submits the form after which the entry will be made to the table. Session will be too annoying. Can you suggest any other lightweight and dynamic method?

Thanks in advance

Best way is to have a single page with multiview or Accordian something.

I'd suggest storing it in the db. That way, if they lose connection or want to finish later you have stored all of their progress.

Save into the database after each screen. That way if something breaks for whatever reason, they can continue where they stopped...
