Call a web service from html

[manjulam]

My client has two different applications running on different servers. One is a .net application with sql server database and the other is a set of pure html pages hosted on a linux server. Now,if i need to fetch some data from the sql server in one of the html pages on the linux server, will this work?

* Create a web service (.asmx) on my .net application which can access the database and return data in xml.
* Call the web service from the html pages on the linux server using webservice.htc file.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,
Manjula

sounds good is theory. once you have the service working how you call it is up to you. treat each piece as a separate unit.

1. create a working web service independent of the website.
2. once that is working then adapt the website to contact the web serivce.

there is plenty of online help on how to create/test a web serivce (asmx).
