So to the point. What I'd like to do, is to change color(or any other attribute) of character in a piece of text. In my case the character would be the last charactor of the text. Lemme tell you an example:
I have a form, which has some fields. One of the fields is required, and I'd like to note that with a red asterisk(or bold or whatever). If my required field should be "firstname", and my form:
Firstname *: __________
Lastname: __________
So why I don't want to use different style for the asterisk? I'm generating the code from a java-servlet framework, and that would be pain in the bottom. I could do this by using straight html, but that would make the underlying code somewhat... unreadable.
My first post here,
cheers for anyone who care to think about the problem,
and, ummm... the others as well,

Changing color of one character
hmmm... with css3 you will but no browser support that yet

i'm afraid the only way to do it now is using a <span> and assign a class like
css
.red { color: #900; }
html
Firstname <span class="red">*</span>: ....

Changing color of one character
My thought too, which is sad...
So most likely I have to use:
Label l = new Label("Firstname <span class=\"required\">*</span>");
l.setContentMode(Label.CONTENT_XHTML);
Instead of:
Label l = new Label("Firstname *");
l.setStyle("required");
I'll keep looking,
for another way,
it's just readability,
