WCF service consumed by jQuery

I have been tasked with creating a service that will be consumed by jQuery on a public facing website. The site will not authenticate users so there is no need for security on the front end. How do I expose the WCF service so that it can't be browsed to and only consumed by the website? There's no sensitive data being returned but because of Auditing I cannot allow the service to be browsed to.

Ideas? Coded examples?

Authentication not needed. The service was restricted using IIS binding so that it can only be accessed on the local machine which also hosts the site.

You are going to need to implement authentication then. As far as comsuming your WCF service, JSON is the best way to go. Here is a good overview on what you need to do with your contract, etc to make it JSON compliant http://professionalaspnet.com/archive/2010/02/01/Creating-a-WCF-Service-for-JSON.aspx
