Setting fields to be mandatory or not based on a select box value on the same page

Hi There,

Can someone tell me how to do this properly? I have a few text box fields that are mandatory unless you select a specific value from the dropdown above it on the same page. I'm struggling to make this work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
