    var xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");

    xmlHttp.send(soapRequest);

    var responseXML=xmlHttp.responseXML;

    tusman,

    i suggest you to debug your code to catch the error,
    (you can debug your javascript by jut writing "debugger" keyword and setting ("Disabling script debugger") through internet options\Advance\Browsing

    as well as create virtual directory under under IIS for you custum webservice and then try this code.

    var soapRequest="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>" +
                     "<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="+
                     "\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" "+
                     "xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" "+
                     "xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\">" +
    "<soap:Body>"+
    "<HelloWorld xmlns=\'http://tempuri.org/\'>"+
    "<Msg>'Successfully Saved'</Msg>"+
    "</HelloWorld>"+
    " </soap:Body>"+
    "</soap:Envelope>";

    var xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");

    xmlHttp.open("post","custom webservice url", false);

    xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/xml; charset=utf-8");
    xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", soapRequest.length);
    xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction","http://tempuri.org/HelloWorld");
    xmlHttp.send(soapRequest);

    var responseXML=xmlHttp.responseXML;
    alert(responseXML);


    hope it will help

    Mahain,
    I have tested all the script and i think script is working fine. but it gets an error and error is Permission Denied. There is no user name and password for the Webservice.

    Can you please explain why this got an error.
    I am using WebService from a local machine and CRM is on the server. Might be this is the reason.

    Look at this thread .

    it means you are not able to access that webservice,try to access your webservice through IE first. if you are not able to access it without entering credentials then try to enable  "Anonymous Access" for your webservice in server.


    Hope it will help

    tusman ,

    there is no need of passing credentials to your webservice i hope you are missing some setting.

    try this.

    where you have created virtual directory for you webservice, is it in ISV folder under ms crmweb or not ??????

    1. try to make Application pool of your webserver same as of ms crm Application pool. i mean to say Application pool of your webservice should be same to ms crm Application pool .then try to access web service through IE first???

    hope it will help.

    Ohh,

    you have to publish your webservice to the server first,

    try this

    1. first publish your webservice to some folder in your local machine let say "Published web folder"
    2. copy this folder to some location in server.
    3. create virtual directory under ISV folder and direct to the location of the folder in the server.
    4. set anonymous access on and Application pool same as of crm server.

    then try to access your web.

    Hope it will help.

    you can do that go through this article  "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc150839.aspx",
    in that case you need to do some other settings also.
    personally i have not tried this.
