How to Make a Wizard?

    So I was browsing around looking for an example and here it is: http://www.iclarified.com/wizards/index.php

    How do I set one of these up? Is it just a serious of images and links or is there an easier less tedious way of doing it? And how do they keep track of the users previous choice?

    Any and all help would be appreciated!

    It's just a series of forms - they'll have the structure in the underlying scripts - data will be saved in the session.

    Check out this google search for many tutorials to help you get an understanding of how it all hangs together. You may need to tag on php or asp or ruby or whatever your choice of scripting language is.

    Thanks sarahk, I've been looking around (after i posted this) and the closest I've come to finding is wizard pro (a wordpress plugin) but it doesn't do everything I need it to do...

    If you don't mind me asking, could you give me a little insight on what I would need to do to get wizard pro to work like the example wizard (minus the aesthetics). Would it just be incorporating "sessions" or is it a bit more complex? Sorry I don't much when it actually comes to coding.
