<div>This question is sort of CSS related, but I think it's worth bringing up here, assuming it hasn't already been discussed. </div><div><br></div><div>The first thing I wanted to do with the "required" attribute when I started playing with it is to use the CSS :after pseudo-element to add an asterisk after every required input:</div>
<div><br></div><div><style></div><div>[required]:after {content:"*";}</div><div></style></div><div><label for="name1">Name</label></div><div><input id="name1" type="text" required></div>
<div><br></div><div>However, it seems that since input is an empty element, the content cannot be added after. My next thought was to somehow get at that "required" state via the label for it, but that seems a bit complicated. Then I realized the asterisk really ought to be after the label, not the input--which is perfect since the label is not an empty element. However, "required" is for input only.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Why not make "required" an acceptable attribute for the label element? It could be done so that the "required" attribute can be on either just the input or both the input and the label. Ideally, it could be put in the label element only, and that would be transfered down to the input to which it is connected automatically, so putting the "required" attribute on the label automatically makes all attributes to which the label is connected required as well. </div>
