    You can easily hide or display the textboxes sequentially using Javascript. I have uploaded an example for you.

    I have just rolled this one out as a starter. You could of course make the script tighter and  more dynamic, for example, by introducing a textbox index i. I leave that up to you.

    I would do it using the tabs from jQuery UI, each tab being a step,

    initially only the first tab/step is enabled, when the user clicks on

    Next the next tab gets enabled, etc

    If you're using CF7 or later, you can use Rich Internet Application forms (aka Flash Forms) which gives a number of options as far as "tabbed" forms go.

    If you're using CF6 or earlier, or you don't want to mess with Flash Forms, it _can_ be done using JavaScript, but it's a royal hemhorroid to work with.
