Jeff, I think we might need more clarification here. "...update form elements as a user makes changes...." has a few different meanings. If field elements (say city and state) are bound to other elements (like a zip field), then you might use Ajax to update the city and state with info brought back from a query to the server (this zip = this city and state), whereas if you were just applying proper formatting to a field's contents (say a U.S. Phone Number field), you aren't really using Ajax, since you aren't making a query of the server for information based upon what you've entered.
I would suggest reviewing some of the popular JS libraries for either (I prefer JQuery myself). If you are on CF8 you can take advantage of the new built in Ajax components and methods (see the livedocs for detailed implementation).
