Making a nice dialog come up offering the user a chance to save would require javascript (this is how e.g. gmail handles this).
However, a less application-like but still functional version could offer the user a chance to save as part of the normal forms interface:

1. User hits "next" or "prev"
2. Server-side script checks to see if there are changes to the fields on the page.
3. a. If there are, spew out a webpage showing the changes the user has made and asking whether to save them or not before continuing.
3. b. If there aren't, go ahead to the next or previous page.

Something along these lines might work, no?
