I have been thinking of how I connect to a web service with Javascript. I did a whole lot of searching for this, and the results I found were somewhat confusing. And somewhat confusing is a bit of an understatement. Half the results referred to a microsoft plugin that is no longer on the Microsoft WWW site in the link given.

Then it struck me… There is an obvious answer – and I have done it before a few years back. I just write a Web page that actually generates JavaScript containing the data from the WebService. That allows me to do things under windows generating the code. And then I just run the code when it is loaded. So simple.

I expect that there will be a few issues when I try to implement this. But I think that this might actually work. But now I actually have got my head around things so that is good.
