Sorry -- it started nice, but as I moved and tried different things,
it got a bit messy.

Correct -- the first "page" (form one) it would always display is
mobile_verify/one (the start of the "wizard").

Yes, their example is very nice -- using separate functions for the
steps does make it look a lot cleaner, however, they aren't using the
LOAD feature for the wizard (the browser goes to a new URL for each
step).
Maybe the LOAD / AJAX stuff just doesn't work with multiple steps /
forms like I'm trying to do?
Has anyone ever gotten it to work this way?
Its not the end of the world, I can have the wizard go to new pages
each time, but I just wanted to try something different. =)
