The response is returned as a string, rather than an HTML element. Try

Code:

var returnAsHTML = $(data);
// then..
if (returnAsHTML).find(...) // etc..
// do you need to use find..?
if ($(".error", returnAsHTML).length) {

Do you need to use each()? I suspect you just need to use first() to retrieve the first (and only) error message.

But if you return just a string rather than '<div>...etc.' then you can just use the string as is rather than extracting it.

I would consider returning either 'true' or 'Some error message' and check against the text 'true'.
