Re: Required Form Fields Question

Hi,

As far as I know, asterisks or other symbols don't make a required field
programmatically determinable, regardless whether they are inside our
outside the label. Such symbols are meant to tell the user that the form
field is required.
The "required" attribute introduced by HTML5 makes required field
programmatically determinable:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#the-required-attribute>.

Best regards,

Christophe
