Hi All, I'm sure this question must have come up in the past before I joined the list but the search facility on the archive is down. Just wondered whether there is a definitive answer to the issue of how to display labels for mandatory fields. I've always used an asterisk, not sure about whether before or after the label is better? Sometimes also use bold font in addition. Can't see anything wrong with this but is there a better solution? Using this approach screen readers will say the asterisk I assume and was wondering whether it might be helpful to use title text in addition containing the word "mandatory" for extra enphsis. Thanks in advance as ever.
