How can I show a * on required fields

Hi;

My product manager wants the end of required controls to have a black *
after them. Unless they tried to go to the next screen (we're in a wizard)
and then they want a red * after and the validation messages up at the top.
The red only if they fail validation is a piece of cake. But how do I get the
black * to go away in that case?

You'd have to write your own validation instead of using the canned
controls.

Hi Dave,

For this case, I think Scott's suggestion on using custom validation logic
would be reasonable since the built-in validator control's client-side
object model is not exposed. it would be quite difficult to customize it.

Sincerely,
