After some searching, I stumbled upon a potential solution. But let's be clear - it's not the ultimate fix.
Let me share with you the structure of my HTML page:
<body ng-controller="mainCtrl">
<h1>Greetings from Plunker!</h1>
<div class="container">
<div class="myclass">
<form class="form" role="form" name="myform" novalidate>
<div class="form-group">
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="name" ng-model="newname" placeholder="Name" required/>
<div ng-if="myform.name.$touched" ng-messages="myform.name.$error">
<div ng-message="required">Please fill out this field</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input class="form-control" type="email" name="email" ng-model="newemail" placeholder="Email" required/>
<div ng-if="myform.email.$touched" ng-messages="myform.email.$error">
<div ng-message="required">Don't forget to enter your email</div>
<div ng-message="email">Invalid email format</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<button type="submit" ng-click="submit()">Send</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<p>User Input: {{newname}}</p>
<p>myform.name.$error = {{myform.name.$error | json}}</p>
<p>submission status = {{submitted}}</p>
</body>
I made some CSS adjustments for the form-group classes as shown below:
body .container form .form-group {
height: 50px;
}
This method ensures that the form-group size remains consistent, regardless of error messages being displayed or not.
However, doubts remain regarding its compatibility with mobile devices. Testing is needed in that regard. If anyone has a more foolproof approach to tackle this issue, please share your insights!
