title: What's the best way to highlight a required field on a web form?
body: <p>I don't find the oft-used "*" to be very nice looking - can anyone suggest a nicer-looking method or point me to an example?</p>
  
  <p>I tried making the field highlighted in red as one person suggested but I did not like the look.</p>
  
  <p>Bold labels might do the trick.</p>
  
  <p>But I really like the idea of "Required" being shown in grey in the field until text is added.  Does anyone have code for this?</p>
