I have not tried this, but are there some kits, like jQuery, where you just use <select> and then jQuery has a lot of CSS that enables the type of thing Harbs wants to do as far as user interaction goes? Then you'd just use a drop down list and style the heck out of it. In other words, CSS takes care of the hiding and showing, you just change the style on the <select>. Again, just a guess but might be another path to try.
