Dynamic Radio Buttons that offer dynamic output

Question

I am wondering if coldfusion has the abilty to perform the task

I am looking for. I want to list radio buttons

as options, and depending on which radio button the user selects,

they are then offered a series of other radio buttons.

Is this something coldfusion can handle, or would a different language

be better suited for this?

You are looking for a javascript solution. CF or any backend can handle

dealing with the data, sending back and forth data about what radio button

list to show, etc easily. But if you want no browser refreshes, then you

need to look into javascript to display the list, use ajax to poll for

refined radio button options, then display. I recommend looking into jquery

and CF. CF can get the options from the database for you and serve to

jquery which is run int he browser which will dictate how to display it

nicely.
