Consuming Multiple Web Services

For an Internet Explorer page to consume multiple Web services, there are three HTML items you need to have:

onload="init()". Add this event handler to your BODY tag. For example:
```
<BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff" onload="init()">
```

Instantiate the webservice behavior. You can share this behavior among all Web services you consume from your page:

<DIV ID="myWebService" STYLE="behavior:url(webservice.htc)"></DIV>

GUI. For each Web service, implement some way to collect user parameters, call the service, and display the results. Simple INPUT elements will do.

These Web service examples work properly in Internet Explorer 5.5 or later browsers. If you are using Internet Explorer 5.5+ and receiving errors with the examples, you need to enable the access data sources across domains option. See Column 105 for details.
