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.

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;


}
