I will either use the <strong> or <em> tag to format the *. =20 I think that strong or em would be appropriate for the whole field, but not for the marker. In a more ideal world, the * would be inserted by the style sheet and not in the HTML at all, but reliable fall back to non CSS-2 browsers and weak CSS-2 browsers (IE) probably makes it desirable to include it in the HTML for the foreseeable future. In all the above, I would include class="MandatoryInput", not just when using span. I would consider spanning the field with its label element, and putting the class on that, although IE's handling of spanned label elements is poor.
