If you need to validate some data at server-side, you should better use 
the AJAX approach: the form is not fully replaced since the validation 
is not OK.

After that, the form can ask for the next one, maybe with the same 
values or from the returned status from the previous AJAX call.

The browser navigation is not safe when mixed with AJAX...
