Depending on what you're really trying to achieve, this could be a very good candidate for a Flash UI. The Flash movie lets you easily have multi-page forms with back/next buttons and can store all the data locally until you are ready to submit it to the server. You could even have the Flash movie store partially completed forms locally so that users can fill them out page by page over time.
