Creating a dynamic table with Javascript
So I read this article called "Creating a table with dynamically highlighted columns like Crazy Egg’s pricing table" at http://askthecssguy.com/articles/creating-a-table-with-dynamically-highl... and it helped me make a form that I people can click on to see one column of a table and have a forum cover up the un-selected columns. It works great but I want to add unique content to each form depending which column you click.
For example if you click column A the form will ask you your email and password and if you click column B it will ask you for your name, email and password.
Can anyone help me with this?

I'm a little confused about exactly what you want. If you can give a link to what you have now, or a screenshot or something we can look at, that would help.
With that said, it sounds like what you could do is create several forms and show a specific one based on the choice made. Or, give each input field a unique ID or class and bring them using JavaScript when a certain choice is made.

I have put it all together at http://test.hirealocaldesigner.com/?page_id=59 but don't look at the colors I haven't styled it at all.
What I would like it to give information about each plan as you click it so if you click the $10 one it tells you about the plan and you can sign up right there. If you click the $100 one it would give you different information and maybe ask you to fill out different information in the form.
I think you are right with creating several forms and show a specific one depending on the column clicked but I am new to JavaScript and am not sure how to make that happen.

Just give each form a unique ID, and using CSS set their default display to 'none'. Then, when a certain selection is made, set their display so that they are shown. Other than that you just need to build the appropriate forms to handle your different price points.
