41 What about placement of validation messages & leng
Working with a number of instances of forms, I am bouncing around a question about where is the most useful placement of validation messages. If the label is stacked above the input, and the input field is wide, is it useful and clear to the user if the message is attached to the bottom of the input or the top? Is it actually more clear to the user if the message is to the right of the input?
