This could be another way to solve the same problem:<br><br><style><br>label + input[required] + span:after { content: " * "; }<br></style><br><label for="name1">Name</label><br>
<input id="name1" type="text" required><span> </span><br><br>However, the above does not work on IE6 (attribute selectors).<br><br>So the id/class suggested by Chris is actually the most cross-browser solution.<br>

<div class="im">> Why not make "required" an acceptable attribute for the label element?<br>
<br>
</div>The class or title attribute can solve your problem:<br>
<br>
<label class="required"><br>
label.required:after {content:"*"}<br>
<br>
<label title="required"><br>
label[title~="required"]:after {content:"*"}<br>
