Well, as you've surmised it would require the use of cookies in order to
identify the person again. The code to set/check the cookie and retrieve the
data would have to be in your form itself, of course. Add a checkbox at the
bottom of your form for the visitor to indicate they're finished filling out
the form. The flow would go something like:
Form:
Check for cookie. If present, retrieve data and load into fields.
If no cookie, create one.
Store cookie value in hidden field.
Phorm:
Store data in database, keyed on cookie value.
If completion box checked, say thanks; otherwise say "Your data so far has
been saved."
