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.

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

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.
