angular, validate single input (not inside form)

Question

I am trying to validate a single input to check numbers 1-99, I am wondering if I can do this in angular without having it wrapped in a form. Not a problem if it needs a form, just curious if it has to have it. Here's what I'm attempting -

<div class="errorMulti" ng-show="multiAdd.$error.maxlength">Error</div>
<input type='text' ng-model="multiAdd" placeholder='Number of levels to add 1-99' ng-maxlength="2">

Pretty straight forward, but doesn't seem to work. Any insight? thanks!

is there a reason to use input without a form? is any reason to do that? — Vladimir Gordienko

I don't understand how this can be the accepted answer. The question is "How do I validate outside forms" and your answer is "wrap it in a form"?????
