Hello,

I am trying to create a webform / survey that works with user given answers.
All the answers are listed in a drop down box.

What I want to achieve the following;

------------
a user selects answer 1 from question 1. As a result question 1.1 through
1.9 becomes active.

Another user selects answer 2 from question 1. As a result question 1.1
through 1.9 stays inactive.
------------

Is there any way to do this? I've been searching on the web for some time
but unfortunately unable to find any.

One solution is to hide the extra questions until they are required.
http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/layered-form.htm shows examples of
this. With a large number of hidden form fields some careful design of
the page will be required.
