Rails - Jul 2006 - link_to_remote, how to send "data" to another <div> when something system detects something wrong???

HI, 

I try use link_to_remote to do a ajax update on my
page,
when eveything is OK, the syetem returns data to the
ajax zone, but when there is something wrong, like the
entry wasn''t correct, I want to send data(a message)
to another zone (the zone is defined in the layout
(message zone used flash[:notice]) I was never able
send data to the other zone, because it is on the
layout, and I have to use render layout=>false. 

So I wonder if there is some parameter I can set to
redirect data to another zone??? like :failure,
etc....

thanks you very much
