Identifying fields which are mandatory before submission

RCheesley 04 Apr, 2011
Hi,

I'm quite suprised that there doesn't appear to be any way of the user knowing a field is mandatory until they submit the form, at which point a popup appears.

Is this something that I have overlooked, as it is standard in most form applications to highlight field with a star or make the input area a different colour, for example, if the field is mandatory.

Hi Ruth,

ChronoForms has never done this as a built-in feature - I'm not quite sure why; possibly because different users have very different requirements.

You can add asterisks in the Labels or in the Form HTML; and you can use the input class with a Load CSS action to set styling. (The validate['required'] class doesn't appear to work so a separate class is needed.
