Description:
DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM
--------------------------------
If you add a calendar control to a page and make the field required, an red
asterick is display even when there is no label test entered in the properties.
 This astrick is displayed in the ide and in the Firefox browser.
ERROR MESSAGES
----------------------
None
STEPS TO DUPLICATE
-------------------------
Add a calendar control to a page.  Check the required property in the properties
panel.  Leave the label property empty.  An asterick is displayed by were the
label would display if there were one.  
Now add a new label from the pallet.  In the properties panel, select the
calendar in the "for" property.  Now there are two red astericks.
WORKAROUNDS
-------------------
Use the labels that are part of the properties in the calendar control.

Evaluation:
Workaround is to use a separate label component and avoid the label property. 
This is also recommended practice.

Workaround:
Any workaround found by the tester is in the Description field.
