How to show the Required fields marked with red '*' rather than the red '|' icon?

Hello,

 

Could you plaese help me with this. We need to change the display of required fields to have red '*' rather than the red '|' icon. This needs to be done with all standard and visualforce pages. Any suggestions please.

 

 

Thanks!

Well ... i am afraid :(

If you use, "inputfield" then automatically it generates the red bar!

And if you dont use that tag, then you will have to do it the custom way. Try searching the forums/wiki if you get any solution for this. Do, post back if yes :)

You will have to use custom labels using outputLabel/ouputText!

Not sure if that's a gr8 idea though, as it would require change on all pages :(

Yes, that is too much effort, as just to change the red line to red asterisk, we need to change all std pages to VF pages.

 

I think, there should be some way in set-up to change it.

 

wht say?
