The solution provided here does indeed tackle your issue, although it may be a temporary fix and could become cumbersome if the problem persists in the future. (Personally, I tend to avoid inline styles as they can mix presentation with content.)
The root of the issue lies within the <textarea> just above the error message. By inspecting them using web developer tools, you'll notice that the functioning one has a margin-bottom of 20px applied, unlike the non-functioning counterpart. This margin is set by the styling on
.slickwrap input, textarea, select
in "slickform-standalone.css". Without this margin, the error message will appear too high above the
<textarea>.
The culprit behind this discrepancy is the inclusion of "bootstrap.css" on the second webpage. The default styles for a <textarea> in Bootstrap include margin:0, which overrides the existing margin-bottom setting.
To remedy this situation, consider removing "bootstrap.css" from the second page. If specific styles are needed from Bootstrap for certain elements, extract only those necessary styles. It's not ideal to load an entire CSS framework for minimal use, as it adds unnecessary bulk to the client-side and can lead to unforeseen style conflicts.
If retaining "bootstrap.css" is essential, you can add a class or modify an existing definition to both <textarea> elements:
.largertextarea{
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
This adjustment will override the troublesome Bootstrap style, ensuring both <textarea> elements have consistent spacing below them and align the error message correctly.
I hope this guidance proves helpful. Feel free to reach out if you have any further inquiries.
EDIT: Remember to remove any negative inline margin-bottom set on your error message to prevent any misalignment.
