Problem:
We usually put a red star after a field to indicate that this field is required. Of course, we can add a '*' and apply css on it. But it is really unconvenient to do so on everywhere. From the html semantical point of view, it is a info about the input, we do not need to write it explicitly.
Solution:
We can use css to control the place of the information about "required".
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style>
/*we can use before to display it before the fields*/
.required:after{
content:"*";
color:red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="required">
<input type="text"/>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Note:
Unfortunately, we can not apply the css directly on the input element as described here .
