I did this using PHP and Javascript not too long ago. My solution may not be elegant but it works. I set up an inline frame on a page that had my large form. I set the soruce of the frame to my processing page and set the display style of the frame to none using CSS. Then for all the form elements, I set an onchange event that called a javascript function. The function creates a query string that is passed to the source page of the frame.
