   I want to set fields to be required based on the value of another field.

   Hello Geoff,
   
   Here is some sample code we have used in the past to enable/disable required field validation on certain widgets:
   
   

   function setRequired(controlId, isRequired) {
     var control;
     if(controlId&&(control=findControl(controlId))) {  
       ValidatorEnable($(control.get_element()).find("span[id$=requiredFieldValidator]").eq(0), isRequired)
     }
   }
   
   // makes CrmLookup_C001 required
   setRequired("CrmLookup_C001", true);
   
   // makes CrmLookup_C001 optional
   setRequired("CrmLookup_C001", false);
   

   
   If you are having any other problems please let me know.
   
   Best Regards,
   Clinton
