How to Effectively Use Color Enhancements and Animation with css to Highlight Required Fields

---

Introduction:

In today’s digital age, user experience is paramount. When it comes to filling out digital forms, ensuring that users can easily identify and focus on important fields can significantly enhance their experience. One effective way to achieve this is by using CSS to add color and animation. By strategically applying these techniques, you can guide users through the form, reduce errors, and make the process more intuitive and engaging.

Use Cases:

• Attendance Forms: Highlighting fields where teachers need to mark student attendance can ensure that this critical information is accurately recorded. Animation can draw attention to any missing entries before the form is submitted.

• Course Selection Forms: During course registration periods, highlighting fields for course choices and prerequisites can help students and parents navigate the form more easily and make informed decisions.
