Javascript remote call from standard page

Is there a way to do Javascript remoting from a button on a standard page?  Or some way to get the same result with a different method?  Basically, I need a button that users can press to kick off a function in another class.

YOu have to add  javascipt library file. I am unable to post the script code here.

Please try adding it from the link

You can call Apex Class from javascript. You have to use AJAX for it.

try something like

 

sforce.apex.execute("ApexClassName","methodName",{});

 

where first argument is apex class name, second is method name and the last one in parameters.

 

does it make sense ?

I tried that originally but am still getting "sforce not defined."  Is there something I have to do externally to include additional javascript files for this?

I fixed the problem; the button is calling the webservice now.  I actually had that tag in already, but it did not make a difference.  I'm not sure exactly what fixed it, but I think it was a typo or something in my javascript that called the class.  It's too bad the error message can't be more specific.
