Internet Explorer does not show a red asterisk * next to names of required editing fields #129

Seen in both IE8 and IE9 on Windows 7.
Firefox, Safari and Chrome show the red *.  
Turns out it's an IE Quirks Mode issue, for future fix. 
As a workaround the morisoliver.css was edited to make the field name text red 
for required fields as well as provide a red *.  So 3 browsers will have both 
and IE will have the red text for now until we get out of Quirks Mode (then it 
will appear).

Changed state: Verified

The concern was that the user did not know which fields were required until 
they touch them or try to save.  They might have to try to save multiple times, 
fixing one field per save attempt until they got past all required fields.  
It's better to show the user up front.
