So I am validating a form using code igniter which simplifies my code a lot however I am facing a new problem. My form at first gets loaded as a pop up inside a div of view. But when the controller returns response after validation then the form opens as a separate webpage instead of just loading inside the previous div of view.

main_view.php

Code:
<script>

 function div_show(type, classID) {    

   if(type=='adduser')

   {

     document.getElementById('AddUser_popup').style.display = "block";

     $("#AddUser_popup").load("add_user");  // javascript to call the controller which loads the form

   }

 }

</script>

<body>

  <button id="popupNewTerm" onClick="div_show('adduser', null)">Add user</button>

  <div class="AddUser_popup" id="AddUser_popup"><!--Upon add User button click form gets loaded in this-->  </div>

</body>

Controller:

Code:
public function add_user()

{

    $data = array();

    $this->load->helper('form');

    $this->load->helper('url');

    $this->load->library('form_validation');

    $this->load->model('user_m');

    $this->form_validation->set_rules('username','Username', 'required|trim');

    $this->form_validation->set_rules('emp_email','E-mail', 'required|trim|valid-email|xss_clean');

    if($this->form_validation->run()==FALSE)

    {

        $this->load->view('includes/forms/add_user', $data);

    }

    else {

        $data['username']=$this->input->post('username');

        $data['emp_email']=$this->input->post('emp_email');

        $user=array(

            'user_id'=> NULL,

            'username'=> $data['username'],

            'emp_email'=>$data['emp_email']

        );

        $this->user_m->insert_user($user);

        $this->load->view('includes/forms/add_user', $data);

    }

}

Form-> (add_user.php)

Code:
<div id="popupContact">

 <?php

 if(isset($username) && isset($emp_email))

 {

     echo validation_errors();

     echo 'User added successfully!';

 }

 else {

    echo validation_errors();

    echo form_open('', 'id="form" name="form"');

    echo '<p id="close" onclick ="div_hide()">X</p>';

    echo '<h2>Add User</h2>';

    echo '<hr>';

    echo '<label for="username">Username: </label>'.form_input('username', set_value('username')) .'&nbsp;&nbsp;';

    echo '<label for="emp_email">Email: </label>'.form_input('emp_email', set_value('emp_email')) . '<br><br>';

    echo form_submit('submit', 'Submit', 'id="submit"');

    echo form_close();

 }

 ?>

</div>

how can I load the form inside the main_view.php after the validation fails from the controller or when the validation is successful, I want the form to close inside the main view page. I can do form validation using normal javascript and php but wanted to learn code igniter method of validation.
Urgently need help, Please.
