Style Required Field License For Free

Use asterisks to indicate required fields? Another common approach seen in forms is to mark the mandatory fields with an asterisk and not mark the optional fields. While an asterisk to the left of the label makes it easy to see, it assumes a user understands what this means.

Asterisk (*) next to a form control's label usually indicates it as "required". Oftentimes, this asterisk's purpose is then explained somewhere else on the page.

:required is a CSS pseudo-class selector used to select form elements that are required. More specifically, it is used to select form elements that have the required attribute set. The form elements than can be selected using :required are <input> s, <select> s, and <textarea> s without a required attribute.

Required fields should be indicated with either a symbol or text, not just color. When providing an indicator for a required field, it should be placed right before the form field. This allows a screen reader to read the indicator to a screen reader user right before the user activates the field.

The :required selector selects form elements which are required. Form elements with a required attribute are defined as required. Note: The :required selector only applies to the form elements: input, select and textarea. Tip: Use the :optional selector to select form elements which are optional.

It is a common technique to add an asterisk * to a form control's label. Then, somewhere else on the page, for example below the form, this asterisk is explained to indicate a required input (in allusion to foot notes in text documents).
