How to call a web service from Firefox

S

sermet

Hi, I have a problem with calling .Net web services with a Firefox
client. A simple example will be enough for me.
Server side code is like this:

[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[ToolboxItem(false)]
public class Service1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
[WebMethod]
public string HelloWorld()
{
return "Hello World";
}
}

Client side .html code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
<title>Hello World Tryout</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="helloWorld.js" > </script>
</head>
<body onload="init()">
Hello World Denemesi<br />
<br />
<div id="service" style="BEHAVIOR: url(../webservice.htc)"></div>
<input id="edtHelloWorld" style="width: 250px; height: 30px"
type="text" disabled="disabled" /></td>&nbsp;
<input type="button" style="width: 100px; height: 50px"
value="Print" onclick="print()"> </td>
<br />

</body>
</html>


Client side .js code:

var callObject;
function init(){
service.useService( "Service1.asmx?WSDL","Service");
callObject = service.createCallOptions();
callObject.async = false;

}
function print(){
callObject.funcName = "HelloWorld";
var oResult = service.Service.callService(callObject );
if( !oResult.error )
{
edtHelloWorld.value = oResult.value;
}
}


This web service works on IE but doesn't run at firefox because
webservice.htc (behaviour file) doesn't work for firefox. I need a
javascript or something like that wihch I cann use instead of htc
file...
Thanks for any response...

you can use XmlHttpRequest in firefox and safari to call a webservice, but
you need to build the packets yourself. the easiest way is to pick an ajax
library as most support soap calls. the microsoft one does. also I don't
believe MS supports the soap htc behavior anymore.
