var message = $('#message').removeClass();
if (data.error === true)
{
    message.addClass('error');
}
else
{
    message.addClass('success');
}
message.text(data.msg).show(500);

You could also put all those calls in the if-cases, but then you’d have to repeat the code all the time, so I split it up and used a local variable.

This is the conditional operator in javascript.

(data.error === true) ? 'error' : 'success'

means if the first part is true data.error === true then you return 'error' elso you return 'success'
