Unhappy hidden fields not passsing values!

Hi all,
I am currently creating a multipage form. My form is created in a way that users are able to go back and forth while filling in the form. I have a save button in the form where users have to click on it to save their info before proceeding. However, if the user clicks on the "next"/"back" button before saving their data, it will generate an error message.

Now, my problem is, the NEXT button is not within the same form as the input fields. Therefore, my hidden field values are not passed when the user clicks on "next"/"back" before "save" and the data in the query string is gone.

I need to know a way of passing hidden fields without being withing the same form as the input values. Any ideas?

Any kind of inputs will be GREATLY appreciated. THANKS!

Can't you simply add the hidden fields into the form with the next button?
