Rails simple_form gives dots under stars for required fields, better way to remove them?

Question

In many of my projects I use simple_form and love it. However one really strange quirk that I find is that I get 3 small dots underneath the * it supplies for required fields.

I have to get around it with:

= f.input :name, :label => '*', :required => false # Display purpose only (it is required)

Which is messy because the field is required, so this code looks ugly.

Is there a better fix for what seems like a common problem?

Answer 1

I think it's from CSS, if you are useing blueprint, "abbr and accronym" tags have a border-bottom: 1px dotted black style.

Try add to your css file the next line :

abbr, accronym{ border-bottom: 0px; } /*try adding !important  after 0px if doesn't work*/

Wish helps :)

Answer 2

It seems like CSS stuff. See what are the properties for abbr tags on your CSS.
