form validation and error handling. (tech gurus)

I am working for a company that has always used server side validation asp.net4
This is not screen reader friendly, not does it move the focus to the
first invalid form field.
1. is there a way to make server side validation accessible to screen readers?

2. Simple email-a-friend form. 3 required fields. 2 email fields 1
name field
Using HTML5 required and proper input types.

Are there samples or tutorials out there for the JS side? I'm
struggling with that and its so simple.

I am familiar with jquery UI Validate and know it has some problems
with accessiblity including using label as error.

Thanks
