Answer 1

You can make an AJAX request like any other requests:

$.ajax( {
type:'Get',
url:'http://mysite.com/mywebservice',
success:function(data) {
 alert(data);
}

})

Answer 4

The regular jQuery Ajax requests will not work cross-site, so if you want to query a remote RESTful web service, you'll probably have to make a proxy on your server and query that with a jQuery get request. See this site for an example.

If it's a SOAP web service, you may want to try the jqSOAPClient plugin.

I blogged about how to consume a WCF service using jQuery:

The post shows how to create a service proxy straight up in javascript.

Answer 6

Incase people have a problem like myself following Marwan Aouida's answer ... the code has a small typo. Instead of "success" it says "sucess" change the spelling and the code works fine.
