Sounds good to me, but I'm not knowledgeable or experienced enough with all this to evaluate an approach.
The biggest concern I have, especially when it comes to logins and validation, is that a person might have js turned off (although my stats show that is a tiny amount, less than 1 percent of people that visit my sites) and then not be able to login or successfully input data with a js-validated form. Rick One of the long-term targets of the validation plugin is to generate as much of the client-side validation rules as possible based on the serverside rules, without additional ajax requests. Until that is available in any form, you could use the validation plugin to display your messages (returned from your AJAX request). See this demo: http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo-test/ajaxSubmit-intergration-demo .html The relevant client code is this: var v = $("#form").validate({ submitHandler: function(form) { $(form).ajaxSubmit({ dataType: "json", after: function(result) { if(result.status) { v.showErrors(result.data); } } }); } }); In that example, result.data looks like this: {'password': 'Your password is wrong (must be foobar).'} That way you can use the same setup for displaying both clientside and serverside validation errors.
