You can do that in a variety of ways and most of the common ajax frameworks would be able to support you with it. CF 8+ has built-in Ajax-functionality (UI elements as well as CFAJAX) that you could use to make things a bit less JavaScript-heavy.
I'm personally not a big user of the built-in Ajax stuff, I'd prob. go for jQuery and jQuery UI. It's very easy to use, reasonably straight-forward to extend it by reusable plugins if needed.
