First thing you need to start Ajax using $.ajax({ //ajax code });

And Then put message in if condition to show success and error message

Try this code below:

    $(document).ready(function (){
        $("#login-usr-frm").submit(function (e){
            e.preventDefault();
            var url = $(this).attr('action');
            var method = $(this).attr('method');
            var data = $(this).serialize();

            $.ajax({
               url:url,
               type:method,
               data:data
            }).done(function(data){
               if(data !=='')
                {
                    $("#response").show('fast');
                    $("#response").effect( "shake" );
                    $('#frm_login')[0].reset();
                }
                else
                {
                window.location.href='<?php echo base_url() ?>welcome/login';
                throw new Error('go');
                } 
            });
        });

    });
