Using ASP (or, I assume, Perl or another server-side language) you could set
a temporary cookie holding the data you want to save, then just call it back
when you submit from the final page of the form.

What I would do would be to have each continue button submit the form and 
then hide the values passed in some hidden form elemts of the next one and 
so on. However, it depends what technology you are using on the server 
side. With ASP you could put the values into some session objects for 
example.
