How to show error in View if the Controller fails ? ASP.NET MVC

On the server-side I have a transaction which returns a JsonResult:

public JsonResult DoStuff(Guid id, string userInputText)
{
     var product = _repository.Product(id); //busines logic

     //Only a specific product must have userInputText <= 10 characters. 
     //Other products may have as many characters as the user wants.
     if(product == Enum.SpecificProduct && userInputText.Count() > 10)
     {
          //The user input text comes from the View...
          //If it has more then 10 characters, need to send the errorMessage to the View.
          return Json(new { success = false, errorMessage = "error message" }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
     }

     //Otherwise, do stuff on the product... 

     //and return success at the end.
     return Json(new { success = true });
}

On the other hand, on the client-side I have this:

using (Ajax.BeginForm("DoStuff", ajaxOptions))
{
    <span>Enter the text:</span>
    @Html.TextArea("userInputText", new { onkeyup = "SyncContents(); return false;" })

    <input type="submit" value="Add" />
    <!-- error message should be displayed here-->
}

This is the AjaxOptions:

var ajaxOptions= new AjaxOptions
{
    OnSuccess = "reload",
    OnFailure = "FailMessage"
};

If the entered text have more then 10 characters, when the "Add" button is pressed, the Controller is being executing the code on the server-side and fails, how can I get the errorMessage from there and use it here, in the View, to inform the user ?

I tried to alert a message:

<script>
    function FailMessage() {
        alert("Fail Post");
    }
</script>

But no pop-up "Fail post" appears.

Best regards.
