"required" attribute is purely cf attribute. there is no HTML 'required' attrib in <input> fields. if you look at the generated source code of your page you will not see any 'required' attributes in the generated input fields. when cf compiles the page, it replaces the required attribute with necessary js to perform form validation.
bottom line: there is nothing to manipulate. you should write your own form validation js based on ids/classes, which can then be changed with an onlick events and will either trigger validation or not.
