I need to call a WebService of a different domain from my application using plain JavaScript. I don’t have a liberty to use any JavaScript/Ajax libraries - I can only use plain JavaScript.

Solution must work on IE and Firefox both.

Since XmlHttpRequest falls under the same-domain policy, you'll have to use JSONP.

Wouldn't the web service need to support JSONP? If yes - it sounds like a good approach - otherwise traditional server proxy approach would work.

I found this an interesting read.
