I want to show the asterisk only in error cases. It is not limited on required fields. I want to ease the finding of incorrect fields because I don't have enough room to display detailed error messages beside my fields in the form. So I have to show a detailed summary on top of my page and an asterisk or somewhat beside the fields.
But I don't know how to achieve this :-( -----Original Message----- From: Sean Schofield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mittwoch, 22.
