Wizard is the name that is called to user interfaces that guide the user through a series of steps that need to be performed to achieve a certain task. This kind of user interfaces is typically found in desktop applications.

It is possible to implement wizards in a Web site by showing a sequence of pages with all the steps. However, multi-page wizard are not as usable as desktop application wizards, as they make the user wait for the next page to load.

This class provides a solution to implement Web based wizards that uses AJAX to minimize the time it takes to load the next page. This way, Web based wizards are practically as usable as desktop application wizards.
