Here is the IsPrime Web service in action:

Enter a number:  
The function isPrimeNumber() is called when the Click here to check if prime button is clicked. It calls the Web service with three parameters: (i) the function to handle the result, isPrimeNumberResult, (ii) the Web service request, IsPrime, and (iii) the parameter expected by the Web service, testValue.value:

function isPrimeNumber() {
  myWebService.isPrimeNumberWebService.callService(isPrimeNumberResult, "IsPrime", 
    testValue.value);
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.
