Calling WebService method from JavaScript

[MSNews]

Hi,
I have written a WebService using Visual Studio.Net's 'ASP.Net Web Service'
project (ASMX). I want to call the exposed methods form a HTML client (using
JavaScript) as a function. I do not want to prepare the Xml and make a SOAP
call. One way is to use the webservice.htc but it will not work on Netscape.
Can somebody suggest me some other solution through which I can make method
calls ?

regards,
Tushar

Look at this posting I added to DotNetPimps:

You can enable the web service to allow GET or POST methods instead of
SOAP. That is probably what you want.

You could also use Xml-Rpc instead of Web Services. Xml-Rpc is a very simple
protocol, and I saw some implementations for JavaScript. There is also very
easy to use implementation for .Net.
