This is not exactly what I mean: Basically, if I have a normal HTML webpage with a script tag in the head or body:

<script src="http://php-page-that-generates-JSON/?param=1&callback=callbackfunction"></script>

then I create a function with the same name as the callback parametre ("function callbackfunction()") then this function automatically gets fired once the page has loaded.

EDIT: actually it does work I just need to define the function before including the json file!

If you look at the Yahoo webservice, this is what it does:

http://developer.yahoo.com/common/json.html#callbackparam

It's not really a web service. It's just a PHP script that returns JSON instead of HTML.

All you need to do is do an AJAX postback and process the returned JSON. This is the best AJAX example w/o using a framework like jQuery:
