When I click "preview" here the save button in my preview mode is not disabled http://plnkr.co/edit/I3n29LHP2Yotiw8vkW0i
I think this is because the form object (testAddForm) is not available in the scope of the ng-if. I know that I should use an object in my controller because it's passed down all the way, but the form object is created by angular and not available in the ng-if. How can I work around that?

JS:
angular.module('app', []);
angular.module('app').controller('TestController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.data = {};
$scope.previewMode = false;
$scope.preview = function(show) {
$scope.previewMode = show;
};
}]);
