"why you don't just give it a CSS class of 'required'" You ask this question to whom? Me? Users or Symfony Developers?
Class required doesn't solve everything. With this you can only make a label different color or something. In 1.3 there should be a way to enter your own character before or after label, before or after input and a class 'required' for label and input. For now, the fastest way is to add your own character in label by setting a label in configure(). 2009/2/26 Lee Bolding <[email protected]> > > I don't understand why you don't just give it a CSS class of 'required' - > that way it's not 'fixed' as any particular character, and there are no I18N > or accessibility issues. > > Seems like the most obvious answer to me (same as when I said this about 4 > weeks ago when this first came up) > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Paolo Mainardi" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 11:01:19 AM GMT +00:00 GMT Britain, > Ireland, Portugal > Subject: [symfony-users] Re: Indicator for required fields > > It's sad to say, but i think that wthis Form Framework is Overengineering, > Overcomplicated, Less documented and don't take care of this basic > behaviour, this problem is an example. > > It's possible to have a complete Form Framework like this and discuss on > "*" to put on required fields ?
