I have a previously written client-server application(by another programmer). The client side is written with javascript. I need to write a new web service with ASP.net but I don't know how to call web methods. My sitation is the same described here Call web service from javascript but it doesn't have a clear answer. (just says use WCF, I don't know how to do it) (note that my client is a totally different project from the server, suppose it is written in eclipse) I want to know how I can call the HelloWorld method that is created by default in aa ASP.net web service, from a simple html code(including js)
Thanks, Ela

alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
}
}
this.xmlhttp.open("POST", "AjaxServer.asmx/WebMethodName", true);
