Hi,
I meant that depending on the selection, you grey out the some of the sections/options where you could put information. Here is an example of Greying out I found here 

<html>
<head>
<title>Disable Drop Down</title>

<script type = "text/javascript">
function disableDrop(){
     if(frmMain.sltMain.options[0].selected){
          frmMain.sltSecondary.disabled = true;
     }
     else{
         frmMain.sltSecondary.disabled = false;
     }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<form ID = "frmMain">

<select ID = "sltMain" onchange = "disableDrop();">
<option value = "onetime">One-Time</option>
<option value = "recurring" selected>Recurring</option>
</select>

<select ID = "sltSecondary">
<option value = "1">One</option>
<option value = "2">Two</option>
<option value = "3">Three</option>
<option value = "4">Four</option>
</select>

</form>

</body>
</html>

Yes I know it uses Javascript, but just to show you.
So applying this sort of thing to your method you might have.

Name:__________________________________
Address:_______________________________
Method of Payment:
(*) Tape Cheque to a pigeon
( ) Pay by C/C
( ) Use Paypal
---------------------------------
Pigeon Payment Section
Name of pigeon provider:________________
Number of pigeon's:_____________________
---------------------------------
Pay by C/C Section
C/C Number: ____________________________
exp date: ______________________________
funky 4 digit number: __________________
---------------------------------
Pay pal section
Paypal number____________________________
paypal pass:_____________________________
---------------------------------
So when you select pigeon payment option from the radio box, you can't even fill in the details of the other sections and the same for the other sections and you can obviously keep common information for each like name or username or something at the top as they are common to all. Hope this is useful...

Regards Paul
