You can do that with javascript.
Example, add an onchange event at the select tag. When you change something make the fields editable. Then take the values of those fields and check them if they are filled. You can use javascript to change the content of the select box.

For the fields, you can add an onkey... event so when the user types something at the field you will check the same.:

Read the javascript tutorial and the DOM tutorial

<head>
  <script>
    function callFunction() {
       var v = document.getElementById("field").value;
    }
  </script>
</head>
<body>

  <input type="text" id="field" name="field" value="" onkeyup="callFunction2();" />
  
  <select onchage="callFunction();" id="select_id" name="some_name">
</body>
