You can set id attribute of <p> element, e.g. username_desc And then using following script, if(success){ $("#username_desc").html('default msg'); }else{ $("#username_desc").html('error msg'); }
Or you can add a new <p> used to show error message, toggle it between default <p> on your validation result. Becoder.
