problem while calling webservice method in java script in firefox

pratik28 · March 30th, 2009, 02:36 PM

I have copied down code behind for webservice and javascript serially .They are as follows:

Here is the code snippet for web service:
public class WebService1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
{

[WebMethod]
public string HelloWorld()
{

return "Hello this is pratik";
}

}

And here goes the code snippnet for the .js file:

function CallWebService()
{
WebService1.HelloWorld(SucceededCallback);
}

// This is the callback function that
// processes the Web Service return value.
function SucceededCallback(result)
{
alert(result);
}

In IE there is no problem in getting the result .But in firefox i get the error :
"the server method "helloworld" failed with the following error" , but no error is specified in the error window.

For the info,i am using firefox version "3.0.7"

it would be great of you guys out there if you can help me out.Thanks in advance

It is not immediately apparent what is wrong. I would probably do 2 things: add a break point to your JavaScript method and add a breakpoint in your CS file and step through everything.

javascript Code:

function CallWebService()
{
 debugger
 WebService1.HelloWorld(SucceededCallback); 
}
// This is the callback function that
// processes the Web Service return value.
function SucceededCallback(result)
{
 alert(result);
}

Make sure you enable script debugging in Firefox so that the breakpoint will be hit in your JavaScript.

Thanks for the suggestion,

your way of debugging with firebug can find out the problem.
Mean while i also suspect with the configuration and settings in my firefox browser.
I will get to you definitly if problem still persists.
