I want to show the label in a different way indicating that this field
needs some more or better info.

It is probably easier to see what I want to do at
http://4bottlenose.com/ Just use my email address
(bill@worldwideimpact.com) on the form and press 'Submit'. There you
will see another form. The 'First Name' is required so I want to show it
in red with a star but I do not want to say 'blank' or 'required' next
to the form label. If the form is submitted without a required field I
want to say 'First Name is required' above the form but not next to the
input box label.
