enabling fields under certain conditions

[cricket]

Is there a way to only enable certain fields to be entered under certain conditions? For instance, if I have a field specified as a pull-down list with options 1, 2, and 3. And I only want certain other fields to be able to be edited when option 1 is chosen. Then other fields can only be edited when option 2 is chosen. Etc.

Thanks.
