I do something similarly to what you need to do - basically I have a 6 page
application (mortgage) - and the user can "tab" through the steps or pages
of the application. But I have it so  the user can only go "backwards" with
the tabs - to proceed forward - they must select the "continue" button (Form
Submit button) that processes the data they have entered and saves it to the
SESSION.  When the Application is completed - I save the data in the
database.

Also - when the form is submitted - I can then do server side error checking
on the data being passed to ensure the data is valid. After the check, I
allow them to proceed to the next step.

However - one thing to note: If I was saving the data to the database from
the beginning - rather than to the SESSION scope - I could allow the user to
save their progress and return later... which may be something to consider
on your end. (I know I will be implementing that change soon for my ap.)
