Answer 1

There is a flexible jQuery validation system to show error messages in any format you want.

Full doc at jQuery Validation System

more samples at http://www.tectual.com.au/downloads/jquery/validation/index.html

So you can have your validation errors in a popup, tooltip or anywhere else in the page.

You can also extend the validator methods as well.

Answer 2

jQuery plugin: Validation is pretty straight forward and configurable.

Limit the messages or use jQuery UI Dialog to notify the end user of the errors. No space needed.

Answer 3

Use the jQuery plug-in Ketchup it uses little floating talk bubbles so not as much space is needed.
