There are two ways to handle this:
  1. send all the information along to the two pages in question (using some
server side scripting language such as PHP, ASP etc.) and populate hidden
input elements*.
  2.  (IMO the best way) Submit the form info from page one  and stoore it
somehow on the server before they go to the second page.

  *If you don't have access to serverside scripting, it is possible pass all
the form values as a query string, and parse that string on the client using
JavaScript, but expect to spend at least half a day debugging it and getting
it to work!
