I have several forms on my website in which fields are dynamically created or altered based on what is altered in previous fields? Is there a good framework for doing this easily?

A:
Kohana offers an Object Oriented approach to form generation and validation with their Formo module. The official Formo documentation can be found online at http://www.avanthill.com/formo_manual/
The compliment this server-side logic, jQuery (Javascript Framework) comes with a great Validation Plugin that is in wide-spread use all over the web. It too has a very simple and straight forward application.

@Jonathon, is there a jQuery plugin for creation/altering fields dynamically? Validation is not a big issue on the page, but we have a pretty complicated logic tree which field will appear next.

Brian, there are many plugins (http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Plugins/category/20) but without knowing more about what your specific needs are, I can't make any specific suggestions.

I have form that starts with one set of select boxes, when a select box changes, the values in the select boxes are used to populate a table of radio buttons. Once a radio button is selected some more select boxes appear. When a complete set of data is selected, the form is submitted to an iframe and the inputs are processed. I have the logic for populating the inputs coded in PHP, all the JavaScript to make inputs appear and gets tedious.
