I need to build a system that will provide visitors to select options and by that selecting updates values and generates new options.

Before i go being creative myself, is there anyone that has some tips, experience, guidelines, links to do so?

Thanks so much

    it is pretty trivial to build such a system using cf.
    it all depends on how you plan your UI. since you say "interactive", i
    assume you would like your UI to be ajax-based, i.e. instead of
    submitting the form after each selection/change you would control the
    changes via javascript.

    CF8 has a lot of new ajax features that will help you.

    sorry, no direct pointers, but googling around for things like "related
    selects" and studying CF8 docs and developer's guide (especially the
    chapters about new ajax features) will get you started.
