I was going to say the same thing. :-)
There are definitely benefits to saving the extra request and response
necessary to properly display errors, but I'm not so sure I would count
usability as one of them. In addition, the user's perception of the site's
general quality and professionalism may be a concern, and a JavaScript popup
certainly doesn't improve this.
