Conditional required fields for WordPress Contact Form 7

I have found a work around for this that works in IE, Chrome and Firefox. And instead of using php approach decided to utilize jQuery. It is not a complete solution but will work in a pinch for anyone else out there that needs to apply this as well.

<script type="text/javascript">
/*! jQuery script to hide certain form fields */
$(document).ready(function () {

    //Hide the field initially
    $("#hide").hide();

    //Show the text field only when the third option is chosen
    $('#dropdown').change(function () {
        if ($("#dropdown").val() == "Other") {
            $("#hide").show();
            var input = $("#hide");
            if (input.length > 0) { //If the input field contains any value remove it
                input.val('');
            }

        } else {
            $("#hide").hide();
            var input = $("#hide");
            input.val("NA"); //add NA Value to hidden field that is required!

        }
    });
});
</script>

This will add NA to the required field thus bypassing the required check.
