Bootstrap 3 form using input-group-addon wrapping error labels with Jquery Validate

Question

Using Bootstrap 3 with a form-horizontal using form-group and input-group tags with Jquery-Validate. When Jquery.Validate runs for errors, it appends a label error control within the input-group.

The issue is that input-group-addon wraps to the next line underneath the form field when the label error control is added by Jquery Validate.

How do I get the label error to stay under the form control and not wrap the input-group-addon to the next line?

Yes, I am aware of this solution - works great, but still doesn't line up the error label for form-horizontal: Bootstrap 3 with jQuery Validation Plugin

Had to move the label outside of the input-group. Once doing that, did the expected behavior: form label to left, field to right, and error below field.

Answer 2

The simplest way to solve your problem should be to put your error label with absolute position property in css. In your example here's the result :

.text-danger {
    color: #a94442;
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    top: 34px;
    line-height: 34px;
    left: 0px;


}

Inserting issue with input-group, try the css fix or below code.

  $('.your-form').validate({
    errorPlacement: function ( error, element ) {
      if(element.parent().hasClass('input-group')){
        error.insertAfter( element.parent() );
      }else{
        error.insertAfter( element );
      }
    }
  });
