The question is not about how to make links relative to root. The purpose is to show correctly the user what the step he is at in the process. If no mistake, he would be taken to step 2, but since the data has error and he needs correct it, so I would like the browser indicating he is still in the step 1. Although it's not that important an issue.
Did you mean javascript can change the URL text displayed in the (some version of) browser's address/location bar? I know it is used to display text in status. Noemally the use of Javascript to validate the data can almost eliminate the needing of such network trip, but not always.
