When calling a Web service, we first need to establish a short name for the Web service. For example:

  service.useService(
    "http://www.eggheadcafe.com/webservices/StockQuote/Stockquote.asmx?WSDL",
    "StockQuote");
The label "service" is the name of the DIV element to which we attached the webservice behavior. The useService() method is one of the webservice behavior's interface methods, and is defined in webservice.htc. The Web service Stockquote.asmx resides on the eggheadcafe server. We give it the short name StockQuote, and this is how we reference it when we actually call the Web service.
