You may wish to reread my response - I mentioned client-side validation, not server-side validation. Your options for displaying error messages that result from AJAX calls are identical to the options for displaying error messages that result from client-side validation. In both cases, you're going to invoke JavaScript to perform some action that will validate your data, and you're going to receive a result that you will have to process within the browser using JavaScript.
