Question

Answer 1

+2 A:

How about CSS 2 Attribute Selectors It is pretty compatible amongst browsers.

Example:

<style>
label[required=required]
{
color: blue;
}
</style>
<label required="required" for="one">Label:</label><input name="one" id="one" />

Apparently questions and answers use formatting, but comments do not.The problem with that suggestion is that the required attribute belongs to the input element, not the label element.<label for="email">E-mail address:</label><input id="email" type="email" name="email" required="required"/>Also in the CSS, better off just saying:input[required] because the only valid markup is:HTML -> requiredXHTML -> required="required"required="false" or anything like that is not valid.

yeah, required=required is unnecessary. But if then he wants to be able to get all of the label tags attached to inputs that have the required attribute I don't think that is possible. You can get all the inputs @required `input[required]`, but not all the labels unless they are a child node of the input, which is incorrect even in HTML.
