Answer 1

Instead of

$('#serverMsg').html(errorMessages.errorId);

try this

$('#serverMsg').html(errorMessages[errorId]);

Answer 2

Perhaps you mean:

var errorMessages = {
  "E1": "Error Occured During Request Processing...",  
  "E2": " Enter User Name"
};

Also as Daniel said below make sure you realize that errorMessages doesn't have a property called errorId, if you want to use errorId to 'look up' the right message then you have to write it like:

errorMessages[errorId]
