Javascript/MSXML/SOAP

adamg mentioned code having a code example using Javascript/SOAP. Can I see this?

I would like to see how to use MSXML with Javascript to access the API.

Sorry I'm starting a new thread, but I can't tell if the old thread is still getting attention.

Much thanks,

Samantha

An SForce object example that I toyed with. Maybe someone else will find it useful as a very simple example to get started with. (now, hopefully, I can figure out how to do this in Java or ActiveX, so I can just call the methods and not have to build the soap message.) This requires IE and MSXML 3 or 4.

Try this:

//send package
objXMLHTTP.send(strMethodPkg)
//see what's in the package
document.write(objXMLHTTP.responseXML.xml)
