Update Method using Java Script

Hi,
Here is an example to update entoty request only in Client Side

// Prepare variables for updating a contact.
var contactId = "56914948-991C-DD11-AD3A-0003FF9EE217";
var newAddressLine1 = "34 Market St.";
var authenticationHeader = GenerateAuthenticationHeader();

// Prepare the SOAP message.
var xml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>"+
"<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'"+
" xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'"+
" xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'>"+
authenticationHeader+
"<soap:Body>"+
"<Update xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2007/WebServices'>"+
"<entity xsi:type='contact'>"+
"<address1_line1>"+newAddressLine1+"</address1_line1>"+
"<contactid>"+contactId+"</contactid>"+
"</entity>"+
"</Update>"+
"</soap:Body>"+
"</soap:Envelope>";
// Prepare the xmlHttpObject and send the request.
var xHReq = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
xHReq.Open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
xHReq.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction","http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2007/WebServices/Update");
xHReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
xHReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Length", xml.length);
xHReq.send(xml);
// Capture the result
var resultXml = xHReq.responseXML;

// Check for errors.
var errorCount = resultXml.selectNodes('//error').length;
if (errorCount != 0)
{
var msg = resultXml.selectSingleNode('//description').nodeTypedValue;
alert(msg);
}
// Display a confirmation message and open the updated contact.
else
{
alert("Contact with id = "+contactId+" successfully updated.");
window.open("/sfa/conts/edit.aspx?id={"+contactId+"}");
}
