Hi,
My client would like to add some "smart" data fields to their CiviCRM Contact profiles. Here is what they want:

A Geographic Region field, where members have 5 options in a drop-down: Local, Regional, National, International, and Other

Then, based on what the member selects they would then have to enter one of the following fields:
Local (text field to enter their city, county, etc.)
Regional (multi-select of different U.S. regions)
National (multi-select of states
International (multi-select of continents)
Other (textfield so they can specify)

Is this possible with CiviCRM? Any ideas on how I can achieve this?

you can potentially do this using template customization (http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Customize+Built-in+and+Profile+Screens) and some amount of javascript

I would create all the below as custom fields. Based on the selection for geographic region, the javascript can trigger and display the relevant other custom field.

You will need to have a pretty good idea of html and javascript to do so
