Assuming you're using php to validate and process the form data, at some
point in the php code do something like this:

if ($validated) {
if ($processed) {
// validation & processing ok
echo "Thanks, your submission
has been processed.";
echo "Please <a href='some_link'>click</a>
to return to our home page.";
}
else {
// processing failed
echo "Sorry, there was a server error.";
echo "Please <a href='some_link'>try later</a>";
}
}
else {
// validation failed
echo "Sorry, the data you submitted was not valid.";
echo "Please <a href='some_link'>try again</a>";
}

If you're using ajax to handle the request, you probably only want to
echo back a single text string that you can then use in an alert box.
You can ember carriage returns (\n) in such a string if you wish.
