The beauty of json is that you can transfer alot of different data in
an organized way. You can very easily send back success/failure status
along with the html.
success: function(response) {
// Response was a success
if (response.status) {
//update my target div
$('#target_div').html(response.html);
// Response contains errors
} else {
// return the form with the errors
}
