Title:
  Required form fields are not obvious to screen readers

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  New

Bug description:
  Required form fields are denoted by asterisks in Mahara (as in most websites), but the asterisks are not inside the <label> tag and are therefore not read out by screen readers. People who use screen readers still need to know that the fields are required.
  Possible solutions include moving the asterisks inside the label tag or adding hidden "required" text to the label.

  Affects latest master (using Orca 3.4.2)
