2. Click a link and show the method in detail, notice the soap envelope.

3. now, we start to coding: we will use the GetList method in this sevice to return the list itmes count with jQuery .

• a. Create a custom list name hr, and add some data to test.

• b. The main code is set the soap envelope and get the respond body with posting request. then we can get the detail info in the respond body via F12 in IE. because this is xml file, it support jQuery seletor.

<script type="text/javascript">    var isIE = (navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf('netscape') == -1);    $(document).ready(function() {    ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(makeSoapCall, 'sp.js');});function makeSoapCall(){    var soapEnv =    "<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'" +    " xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' \      xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'> \      <soap:Body> \        <GetListItems xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/'> \          <listName>" + "hr" + "</listName> \          <viewName></viewName> \          <query></query> \          <viewFields></viewFields> \          <rowLimit></rowLimit> \          <queryOptions><QueryOptions xmlns=''><IncludeMandatoryColumns>FALSE</IncludeMandatoryColumns><ViewAttributes Scope='RecursiveAll'/></QueryOptions></queryOptions> \        </GetListItems> \      </soap:Body> \    </soap:Envelope>";                    $.ajax({        url:"HTTP://DEV-SP/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx",        type: "POST",        dataType: "xml",        data: soapEnv,        complete: processResult,        contentType: "text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\""    });}function processResult(xData, status) {    var result;    if (isIE)        result = xData.responseXML    else        result = xData.responseText            try {        if (status == "success" && result){            $(result).find("rs\\:data").each(function() {                alert($(this).attr("ItemCount") + " Items found.");            });        }    }    catch (e) {        alert(e);    }}     </script>
