Thread:Talk:Style guide/Forms/Error conditions in forms/reply

I am not a person who believes that vertical positioning of form elements must be maintained. I think it's okay for elements to shift on the page as long as the user understands the context as to why (and adding errors to a field is a pretty decent context).

I'm totally fine with mandating vertical; the horizontal layout was a effect of doing live validation and to offset complaints about wasted space in layouts.
