I'm not sure whether I fully understood what you mean. But your example of a validation message on an error, wouldn't that work like the following:

1. User clicks on some button/link whatever which causes an action
2. An asynchronouse post is done back to the server, transmitting the user id (you should be aware of security here)
3. On the server the necessary validation is done and a response send back (in XML, Json, directly the message encoded as HTML)
4. Back on the client side you get your response in your JavaScript code and place it appropriately on the page

Hope that helps.
