 * According ([http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-this-is-how-to-showhide-fields-with-jquery?replies=39](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-this-is-how-to-showhide-fields-with-jquery?replies=39))
   and my additional solution to use more condtional hiding fields I came up to 
   another problem.
    When is fullfilled to a certain condition there will show up
   fields you have to fill in. The data to fill in must be filled in. So I make 
   these [text] and [select] fields required to fill in. Add * ([text*] resp. [select*]).
   However when this condition is not for use these fields does not show up. Because
   they are required to fill in it is not possible the form to sent. It is very 
   easy don’t use required fields (so I did), but if then a showed up field is not
   filled we don’t have the right data sent in. Have somebody an idea how to solve
   this problem?
