Call a webservice using pure xml (NOT HTML/XHTML)

[cedric69]

Hi there!
I'm developing an ASP.NET web application which uses SVG and not HTML. One of the HTML ways of calling a web service is:
<div id="myService" style="behavior:url('webservice.htc')" /> etc.
The id is used as the reference to the web service in the client script.
Since I am using an SVG document - not HTML - I don't know how to access an element from the client script since I don't have a
<div> tag.
So... the question is: How to do it the XML-way?

Why do you need a div tag to reference it?

Standard scripting methods use the DOM. You could use getElementByTagName(), getElementByID(), etc just as well with SVG as HTML.

I wouldn't use behaviors as they are IE only. Seeing as you're using SVG, why not use XForms too? XForms can submit directly to a webservice.

Google for svg xforms for more info.
