To return an error from a $.ajax call, there's gotta be a better way than echoing an error in the ajax.php file and then trimming it!

this seems very clumsy and in-robust:

success: function(e){ 
    var e = trim(e);
    if(e == 'SUCCESS')
        {alert('your password has been changed!');}   
    if(e == 'ERROR1')
        {alert('please fill in all inputs!');}
    if(e == 'ERROR2')
        {alert('password incorrect!');}
    if(e == 'ERROR3')
        {alert('change failed!');} 
} 

what should i be doing instead?!
