Multi-page form issues

Hi,

We have a process for customers to submit info.  To make it more user-friendly, I am breaking it up into 3 sections across a few landing pages/forms.  I am running into issues.

1. When I redirect from one form to the next landing page, the URL switches to an Eloqua URL, which is not a good experience for the customer.
2. I can redirect to an external URL and enter the URL of the next landing page; this keeps the URL on my subdomain, but creates two more issues:
   1. The styling (CSS) on the second page is ignored.
   2. The visitor becomes anonymous; the 2nd form does not know who the visitor is so the info captured is not linked to the same record in the CDO.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to approach this?  My next thought is to use jquery to show and hide the 3 sections all in one form/LP, but that will be a steep learning curve for me.

I'm also going to have to load HTML landing pages to get the styling I need, and I'm anticipating even more issues once I go down that path.

Thanks,
Jim
