I built a website, using shockwave, an MTML form validation system to 
allow users to complete a form that checks as they go and included a 
pause feature that allowed the user to return at a later day to pick up 
where they left off. It did this by storing results on the user's hard 
drive and storing them in the web app's e-mail formatted system. When 
the form was completed it was encrypted using 128 bit encryption and 
sent to the sender using FTP. It was all scriptable in MTML. So it 
worked from an external text file that the web app retrieved from a 
server.

look at this old idea: demo

The competition for this came out of everywhere in just one month so I 
discarded the idea.
