Answer 1

HTML is not a scripting language. You can't connect to SOAP with that. Look into PHP which has a SOAP class and then use that to generate the HTML.

Answer 2

SOAP is an XML based protocol. Though Javascript can in theory read and consume SOAP replies, in practice this is not possible due to browser security limitations and such to keep Internet as a sane place.

What you want to do is to create an middlware which translates your HTML5 client-side AJAX requests to SOAP requests on the server and then returns results as a translated JSON.

SOAP traffic is better to be handled server-to-server instead of directly from browser-to-server. Thus, the question is what kind of server resources you have to create and translate SOAP requests.
