The easiest way is to just hide/show individual fields based on the value of another field. You can do this by attaching a Method as an OnFormPopulated Form Event (to handle the initial load) and also as an OnChange Field Event (to handle when the dropdown changes). Take a look at the Document Form in the standard solutions database for an example. The Show Class-Specific Fields method is attached both as a Form Event and a Field Event. This method parses the value of the Type (classification) field and hides/shows fields based on name. If your Form is a little more static, it may be easier to find the right span elements based on the ids of the Fields.
Good luck -
Rob
