Well, my question then becomes: "Why should they?" I can readily imagine, say, an older person with somewhat reduced eyesight - going to happen to most of us - who doesn't really feel the need for a specialized magnification tool, but feel quite comfortable with increasing the font size in his/her UA. Tiny symbols that may or may not carry meaning and implemented as graphical elements -is- a problem for that specific group; both as links and as information carrying elements. What's wrong with just adding "mandatory", or "required" in plain text to the label ? -- - Tina Holmboe Greytower Technologies tina@greytower.net http://www.greytower.net/ [+46] 0708 557 905
