By itself, ColdFusion can't do this. CF doesn't "listen", it simply handles requests sent to it by the web server. However, you can build something with the same effect by using JavaScript and DHTML or frames on the client; every time a user changes a field, you'd have to submit an HTTP request back to the server, wait for the response, then process that response.
