Never rely on client side validation, that's for convenience for your users, not security.First, make the functionality works (including security) without javascript. Then override the submit button with javascript by observing the submit. In that event code you submit the form via ajax, hide the div, display what you want, etc. then use event.stop to keep the default submit behavior from occurring. Good luck with this.
