How to access hosted WCF webservice with jquery in html

Question

1.I have a simple WCF webservice , say hello method that return string "hello". I have hosted it on a server. Say I can access it as http://demo.test.com/myservice/Service.svc?wsdl .

2.I want to access it through simple html page with jquery call.

The problem is that html page is not being able to access the service. I haven't added anything on service except whatever comes in default with visual studio 2010. Do I need to add anything on the server side service to access them with jquery call? How can I be able to access them?

Answer 1

Is service running on same domain as page with JavaScript code?

If not you need to enable CORS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing to make AJAX requests to other domain
