Try adding padding-top to your input element

CSS

label[data-valid="error"] input{
  padding-top:15px;
}

<span>

is an inline element, so you cannot apply to it margin

. If you change it to <p>

, it will be a block element, so you can apply margin to it.

Also I would not put the error message inside the label. And you cannot have a space in the id attribute.

Html



<label for="first_name">First Name</label>
<p class="error">Please enter data.</p>
<input id="first_name" class="tesFN" maxlength="40" name="first_name" size="20" type="text" onkeyup="test()" required style="background-color: #30bda6">
<i class="fa fa-check-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i>

CSS

.error { margin-bottom: 6px; }

IMO - it's a good idea to play with pitches or swaps here.
The input value is centered vertically in the textbox - and I think it should stay that way. How about changing the left: 10px;

class .error

to right: 10px;

. Looks much better and you keep the heights of the text boxes.

So the CSS for .error

would be:

.error {
  display: none;
  color: #AB0000;
  font-size: .7em;
  position: absolute;
  right: 10px;
  top: 0;
  transform: translateY(150%);
  font-size: 12px;
  margin-top: 2px;
}

This way, your error message is slightly removed from the input text.

You have an absolute position .error. So use properties top

for .error

and padding

for input

e.g. style

input[type="text"] {
    width: 100%;
    padding: 20px 10px 10px;
    background-color: #f9a558;
    border: 1px solid #fff;
    font-size: 15px;
    color: #333;
}
.error {
    display: none;
    color: #AB0000;
    font-size: .7em;
    position: absolute;
    left: 10px;
    top: 4px;
    transform: translateY(150%);
    font-size: 12px;
    margin-top: 2px;
}

I changed padding

to input[type="text"]

and top

to.error
