Perplexing Problem

Greetings List, I've been charged with an interesting task here at work and I need some suggestions on how I would go about acomplishing what I have to do. I'm building a form that searchs a database for a listing of memebers. That by itself is easy. The search results must be listed on a page with no more then 10 results per page up to 100 results. That is also easy. This much I have accomplished. However, in each set of 10 the user can select any number of the search results. The problem I"m having is how to retain the data from 1 page of results to the next. Here's an example User does a search. Gets 30 results, thus has 3 pages of data. The user selects 2 results from the first page, then goes to the second pages and selects 2 results. He then wants to go back and select another from the first page. How do I keep track of what the user has selected? The tool for selection is a simple checkbox, the 'Next Page'/'Previouse Page' are just links (<a href = etc etc). Is there a way I can make the links work like a form submit button? I'm really stuck here, I'm hoping someone can help me out...
