Required CSS - how to remove icon (*)

[Chris Hane]

I am styling my required fields and an icon (*) is being added.  Which css 
element do I need to remove this?  AFRequiredIconStyle is defined like so:

.AFRequiredIconStyle{
   font-family:Courier,sans-serif;
}

No icon(*).  I have the following xhtml (facelets) fragment:

<tr:inputText label="Status" value="${backing.property}"
              showRequired="true"/>

This creates the following html which includes an icon (*).

<td class="af_inputText_label af_panelFormLayout_label-cell" nowrap="">
   <span class="AFRequiredIconStyle" title="Required">*</span>
   <label for="status">Status</label>
</td>

Thoughts on where I need to remove the icon (*) from, or override it to not 
be included?

Thanks,
Chris....
