javascript implementation of XMLHTTP and SOAP objects?

I don't know enough about the technology yet to know whether this
is a ridiculous question-- but is there no cross-browser
javascript implementation of XMLHTTP and SOAP for use in calling
web services? It looks as though MSFT expects the client to be
running Windows and ActiveX and have certain DLLs installed; and
Mozilla seems to have its own implementation of SOAP. Is it
possible to implement these protocols in pure client-side
javascript?
Thanks!

Nope, you need something to perform HTTP - SOAP is a bad idea though
anyway.

HTTP objects are provided by safari, IE and mozilla and have identical
interfaces, but different constructors.

I didn't know about that Safari feature so far and have now Mac here to
test. Does Safari simply implement the same constructor as Mozilla, i.e.
XMLHttpRequest, or what is needed for Safari?

I believe so, I also haven't yet managed to see it in action or test,
the code in GMail which reportedly works in Safari just has Mozilla
and IE paths.

Yes, I have just searched around on Apple's site and the article
http://developer.apple.com/internet/...mlhttpreq.html
clearly says and shows that since Safari 1.2 XMLHttpRequest is
implemented in Safari following the Mozilla implementation.

If only Opera had already done the same but they are probably doing it:

XMLhttp Request works fine with Safari (Mac Mozilla too) using the
constructor method you detailed in

WOW, great news! I use it extensively in my PHP applications and I always
have to sniff it out and serve up an alternate for Opera and the other non
supporting browsers.

If my question sounds ill-formed, please cut me some slack as I'm just getting started with this part of the code. We're trying to do an axis soap interface, that is, talk to a site that already has a defined "dtd" . I've already seen some java examples that use SOAP and AXIS to do the communication. However, we'd like to communicate from client-side javascript instead of

You can copy and paste the following into a .aspx page (change names for your purpose) and it will call a webservice on every 1 minute.

Hi All, After creating an end-point with batches enabled using SQL Server 2005, I can easily query a database and have xml returned from within javascript using something like Pablo's code (below). But, if I try the same code from VB6 or VB.NET (a straight forward port - swap ActiveXObject for CreateObject, remove ';'s etc) I always get 'Incorrect Parameter' on the send method of xmlhttp.
