States and behavior

First/middle/final step, required input, preserved draft while going Back, Finish commit and Cancel discard.

Keyboard

Tab operates the current page. Back/Next are explicit buttons; Escape cancels. Step heading receives focus when the page changes.

Scope and adaptation

This is an original small workflow, not a generic wizard framework. Page transitions validate only the information needed to proceed.

Sources

Microsoft preliminary guide (1995), chapters 7–8

Original implementation; system colors are represented by CSS variables. The default 13 px system-font stack is a readable browser adaptation. The 1995 source is preliminary, not a final product specification. Test the target browser and native host before shipping.
