We have explained in Column 106 how to consume Web services through Microsoft Internet Explorer. There are three HTML items you need to add to your page for it to consume Web services:

onload="init()". Add this event handler to your BODY tag. For example:
```
  <BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff" onload="init()">
```

Instantiate the webservice behavior. You can share this behavior among all Web services you consume from your page:

  <DIV ID="myWebService" STYLE="behavior:url(webservice.htc)"></DIV>

GUI. Implement some way to collect user parameters and display the results. Simple INPUT elements will do.
