using MapPoint through javascript

[Paromita]

Does anyone have any example code snippet illustrating use of MapPoint
webservice in javascript code

Hi,

It's theoretically possible to call MWS through entirely JavaScript, but
there are two problems you will need to consider:
- MWS requires digest authentication
- Passing credentials on the client side (undesirable)

I'm not aware of anyone successfully implementing the above and MWS is
something really designed for server-side calls. If you're looking to go all
JS, then you should consider using Virtual Earth, or a combination of both
worlds (MWS and VE). Here's an article that describes how to combine both:

Hope that helps,
