noobie question on ajax and flash messages

[Jim Alateras]

When I attempt to submit s form with incomplete data set it returns a
set of flash messages, which are subsequently displayed in the
error_message div (i'm actually using message_block plugin for that).
I am now in the process of adding some ajax support (via prototype and
lowpro) but am unsure of how to handle the flash messages when my
ajax request fails.

I could write some JS to render the error messages but was wondering
whether there was a best practice or a library out there that people
use.....i'm sure it's a common problem.
