Convert Raw HTML/ CSS / JS to working pro site for new JoeHaydenRealtor.com

[Battler45]

Vihang & Vihar,

I know that both of you are working on several other tasks, but, as you have time, our next task will be to get underway on integrating the programming, etc. into the raw HTML / CSS / JS of the new JoeHaydenRealtor.com website.

Vihar, the reason I've included you on this ticket is that, as we've discussed, I believe we will need to create a set of duplicate content and blog posts for this new site, which we'll then be able to work with in development without affecting the current live site. Can either you or Vihang move forward with that when you have time? I suppose this will also involve duplicating the current Sites record to a new record, and then also duplicating the site's current AdminUser to a new user.

Vihang, I've also configured a new working website for the new site. You can find it here:

http://joehaydenrealtornew.sierrainteractivedev.com/index.html http://joehaydenrealtornew.sierrainteractivedev.com/inner.html

You can access this site via FTP using the usual credentials, with the username, joehaydenrealtornew_dev

Once you log in to the site, you'll see that common files such as default.asp, content.asp, etc. have already been added to the site. I'm not sure how those got there -- I may have added them in copying the site, or it's possible that Arthur added them after finishing the site HTML. If you examine them and find that they don't belong there, or that you prefer to proceed in a different way, it's fine to remove or change them as needed.

In configuring this site, we are going to need to make some changes to the Communities page, by adding an number of new top-level Communities sections, and then assigning the (duplicated) pages in the content manager to the appropriate sections using the attached spreadsheet.

As you'll see in the attached spreadsheet, the client would like to add 15 new top-level sections to the new site, and many of the pages currently in the main Communities section will be re-assigned to these newly created sections.

Once that's done, the main Communities page on the new site (which includes the alphabetized list) will need to pull neighborhoods from all of these sections (similar to what we are already doing with MLSKY.net).

Can you get started with the programming integration there when you have time? Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.

Vihang,

1 - Yes, that's correct.

2 - Yes, correct

3 - Louisville MLS will go to the Property Listings site map (which I believe will be "/louisville-mls/site-map/"), and I think that "Louisville Real Estate" will go to the main communities page.

4 - Good question. For now, please leave this as static content.

5 - Another good question. I believe we may need to implement jQuery UI Autocomplete because client wants address and mls # to be searchable from the main box along with city, county and subdivision. But let me get back to you on that.

Ben,

I have added programming to display rotating testimonials on the home page per comment-48. I have kept the previous testimony for testing purpose. Please check the same and let me know your feedback.

I have also updated the section names and filenames per comment-49.

I am not sure if you had chance to review the autocomplete changes I have made per comment #44 and my thoughts on comment #46. Can you please check the same in comment #47.

Thanks Posted by Shah Vihang(unfuddle username: vihang)

[Battler45]

Vihang,

1 - Good question. On this site, though, I think it is fine to include sidebar content on all site pages (except for the new property listing detail page).

2 - Also a good question, but, no, in this case, I think it will be best to use the free_market_analysis_2.asp form in the /property-search/ folder, as on this site: http://www.buildingstapleton.com/property-search/free-market-analysis/

3 - Yes, that would be great. The programming will be slightly different because we will not have the tabs at the top of the box switching states as they do on the PWPrudential.com site, but, yes, the plugins will be the same and the basic functionality will also be the same. The links to the clients profiles are:

• http://www.facebook.com/LouisvilleKYRealEstate

• http://twitter.com/joehayden

4 - Yes, exactly, the functionality will be very similar to what you see on http://www.weselllouisville.com, and you can use the same code and the same style overlay as on that site. The client does not yet have the finished video ready, so, for now, please use this video as a placeholder:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX0D4oZwCsA&feature=relmfu

5 - Yes, good question. For some reason, I had failed to notice that. We do not actually have several of the stats listed in that box. So, please use the following instead:

• Total Properties Listed:

• New Properties Today: [Linked to new listings]

Then, beneath the Averages header, please use:

• Days on Market
• Avg List Price (Res)
• Median List Price (Res)
• Month-Over-Month Chng

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Vihar,

RE: #33-35

As I mentioned in #38, your updates to client sites look good regarding the featured listings & scrollers. In general, we should be sure to add to our list, once we are done with the JoeHaydenRealtor.com and HuffRealtyRentals.com sites, that we should go back through all client sites to make sure all are using the common version of the programming within listing-carousel-2.asp (ie, referencing shared programming from /property-search/widgets/carousel.asp and /property-search/widgets/carousel-close.asp, and also that all carousels are pulling from saved searches rather than by agent / office id).

Thanks. Posted by Peskoe Ben(unfuddle username: bpeskoe)

[Battler45]

Vihang,

A couple of additional items on the JoeHaydenRealtor.com site:

1 - For the Featured Listings widget on the home page, can you please make the entire photo a link to the detail view for the listing, rather than just the Details button?

2 - Also for the Featured Listings widget, can you please use the thumbnail version of the images rather than the larger size? These thumbnail images are formatted to 140px, and the images in the widget are at 148px, so they would have to be displayed at a slightly larger size than what they actually are, but I think the savings in page load time will outweigh a small decrease in image quality.

Ben,

I've updated the remaining files on DEDJ198 to integrate custom-url specific changes. I've also published the changes to the CAA and lead-distribution web-service. I've verified the changes in CAA and web-service. I'm currently verifying front-end sites hosted on the DEDJ198 server.

Pls note that I found an issue in juliepogue site in that the features listings weren't not getting displayed on the home-page. Apparently the programming in the listing-carousel-2.asp is calling the FormDetailLinkFromAddress function. Pls note that this function has been updated as a part of the custom-url change. This function now requires a couple of additional parameters viz. search-tools-root-directory and url-structure values (Sites table) and unique-id value (MLS table). To fix this issue, I've updated the listing-carousel-2.asp file to pass default values to this function.

Moreover, the file was referencing the \shared\global\sicm\main_includes\functions.asp file for FormDetailLinkFromAddress. Pls note that this function is now moved to a common-file, \MLS_Tools_Integrated\res\includes\common_functions.asp which is internally referenced from the \MLS_Tools_Integrated\res\includes\functions.asp and shared\global\sicm\content\widget_saved_listings_top.asp files. All other files (including \sicm\main_includes\functions.asp) have been updated to remove the definition of FormDetailLinkFromAddress function.

Can you pls let me know if there are other such instances where the FormDetailLinkFromAddress function is called from within the site specific programming? We'll need to change all those instances to pass additional parameters. I thought about performing full-text search of Inetpub files but that might slow down the server. Pls let me know if we have any other way of checking this.

Thanks. Posted by Shah Vihar(unfuddle username: vshah)

[Battler45]

Ben,

I hope you are doing well now. To inform you on the work-progress - I've updated programming on DEDN173 (Live site) to integrate custom-url changes. I've also modified a few files on the DEDJ198 server for the same. I'll update the rest of the files and update CAA (live) tomorrow.

A couple of points:

1 -- In order for the new Joe Hayden site to work correctly on the live database, we'll need to publish the new GLAR updater as soon as possible. The new updater will handle generation of unique-ids (spid). This will make sure that the new detail url-structure will function correctly.

Per our discussion in the last week, we had planned to initiation GLAR photo migration today (Friday). Unfortunately I couldn't start it as the ftp server (glarmls.com) contains daily photo files as well. Pls note that the photo-migration app was created to process weekly files only. A couple of workarounds are

a -- to download only weekly files from the FTP server and then process those photos. Once those photos are migrated, the new GLAR updater can be configured to process photos of last few days (starting from Monday).

b -- to publish the new GLAR updater without migrating photos. The front-end sites' programming uses the value of the PhotoServer field (MLSPhotos) to build photo-paths so we should be fine even if photos are present on both new and old servers.

Pls let me know your thoughts.

2 -- The disclaimer_text.asp file contents are different on DEDN173 and DEDJ198. Pls confirm if the file on DEDN173 contains the latest changes.

Thanks.

Ben,

RE: #26 - I've fixed the issue in newpanda, trulia and zillow feed-generation but I couldn't verify whether or not correct data is generated. Apparently all those files use the OfficeMLSID value (and most likely a few additional parameters which I couldn't figure out) for retrieving records. I tested the trulia and zillow feeds for joehayden and hometoindy sites but it didn't pull any records. Are these feeds used for a few sites only?

Thanks. Posted by Shah Vihar(unfuddle username: vshah)

[Battler45]

Vihang,

RE: #23

For now, please go ahead and make those blog changes live -- I think it looks good enough at this point to push it out to all sites. I will check the sites individually to see if there are any that need to be tweaked, one way or another.

Thanks. Posted by Peskoe Ben(unfuddle username: bpeskoe)

[Battler45]

Vihang,

Also, as I am not feeling well tonight, I won't be able to provide feedback on any of the client sites additional steps -- so, for today, could you please coordinate with Vihar to see if there are any steps you can help with, either in the CAA or on the front end sites, to push the dev version of the search tools out to the live servers? Perhaps you could begin looking at integrating some of the new page components into the front end search tools? I know you will need some guidance there, but I think you should be able to get started on creating and integrating the programming for those components in the shared folders.

Thanks. Posted by Peskoe Ben(unfuddle username: bpeskoe)

[Battler45]

Ben,

Re #27:

I have pushed the blog changes to the live servers and checked this on 12 to 15 sites. There was an issue in the RSS feed icon display on the HomeToIndy.com site. I have fixed the same. Please check all sites and let me know if we need to tweak the RSS feed icon display on any site.

Re #28:

I am slightly confused regarding integrating new page components into the search tools pages. Do you mean integrating "New Contact Form" and "Property Statistics Box" components on the front-end site content page and all of these components on the blog detail page?

Thanks Posted by Shah Vihang(unfuddle username: vihang)

[Battler45]

Ben,

I have updated the filename (to "/") of the default pages of new sections. It appears that the client hasn't added default page of the following sections:

• Patio Homes
• Prospect Homes
• Shelby County Homes
• Spencer County Homes
• St. Matthews Homes

Please let me know if I should add the same.

Also, please note that while updating section filename, I had also updated section name, that is, Subdivision was replaced by Homes. For example, "Anchorage Subdivision" was updated to "Anchorage Homes". Similarly I had updated the links in the "Search by Area" box as well. However, I noticed that the Page Title of the default page is set as "[XYZ] Subdivision". For example, the Page Title of the default page of the "Anchorage Homes" section is "Anchorage Subdivisions". So, I wanted to confirm if I only needed to update the section filename. Please let me know if I should replace Homes with Subdivisions in the section name and "Search by Area" links.

Thanks

Ben,

In verifying front-end sites, I found that some sites like viewlouisvillehomes.com and allhomesinlouisville.com have the FormDetailLinkFromAddress defined in their local functions.asp file ([site-folder]/res/includes/functions.asp). This results in errors in loading search-tools pages; removing the FormDetailLinkFromAddress from the local file fixes the issue. Pls let me know if you encounter such issue or if a client reports similar issues.

Thanks. Posted by Shah Vihar(unfuddle username: vshah)

[Battler45]

Ben,

I've created new Sites record for the new JoeHaydenRealtor site (340) and have also added a new AdminUser record for Joe Hayden (1026). Pls note that the user-name for the new AdminUser is joe_new so that it could be used for accessing new site. We've also created duplicated contents / saved-searches records and have associated them with the new site.

Pls note the following points:

1 -- New sections have been added as listed in the attached spreadsheet. They have been associated with appropriate pages. Pls note that the number of pages listed in the spreadsheet is 670 whereas the total number of community pages (associated with the Communities section) is 797. Pls let me know if we need to associate those remaining 127 pages with appropriate section.

2 -- For now I haven't created duplicate blog records for the new site. I believe it would be fairly straightforward to associate blog-records with the new site as and when we launch it. For now the client can continue adding / updating blog entries. Pls let me know your inputs.

Vihang will start working on adding programming for the new front-end site.

Thanks. Posted by Shah Vihar(unfuddle username: vshah)

[Battler45]

Ben,

I have fixed the detail page issue.

Regarding blog, please note, that the RSS feed icon is added in the shared /global/sicm/blog/blog_posts_body.asp file and the span tag within the H1 tag was workaround to address the issue, RSS feed icon not being clickable when the Cufon font is used. So makinng any change in the RSS feed icon display for this site would also apply on other sites. Please let me know if this would be fine.

Thanks

Posted by Shah Vihang(unfuddle username: vihang)

[Battler45]

Ben,

I will work on point-1 and 4 tomorrow.

Regarding 2:

When we migrated saved-searches/content-pages to the new site, we thought this would be a one-time operation and the client would add/update saved-searches/content pages to the new site. So we created script accordingly. We will need to make changes in the scripts to migrate added/updated saved-searches and content pages to the new site. Please let me know if it would be fine to do so when we make the site live.

Please find attached a spreadsheet listing all the neighborhood pages added on or after 28 November 2011.

Thanks Posted by Shah Vihang(unfuddle username: vihang)

[Battler45]

Ben,

RE #44:

I have updated the autocomplete implementation per point-1 and included all new section pages on the site-map page per point-4. Please check the same.

RE #46:

Yes, it would be difficult to merge the newly added/ updated content into the new site but we will try to find a solution for this. Thinking more about this, I believe it would be good to add new sections in the old site (182) and assign pages to the appropriate section per the spreadsheet when new site goes live. We can then discard the new site (340). This will require us to update the constants in the new front-end site but this would be easier compared to migrating newly added/updated content to the new site. This will also save us from re-assigning leads, admin-user and blog records and assets (images/files) to the new site. All we need to do would be to:

1-- Add new sections in the old site (182)

2-- Assign pages to appropriate sections per the spreadsheet

3-- Replace the "/property-search/" to "/louisville-mls/" in the post/pages contents.

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Thanks Posted by Shah Vihang(unfuddle username: vihang)

[Battler45]

Ben,

RE: #13 - point-1 - I think we'll need to push all related changes in order to integrate the dev search-tools back into the live branch. That is, in addition to the changes made to the front-end sites' programming, it would be good to publish changes to the CAA as well. Then, once we are ready to launch the site, we can publish changes to the updaters (old and new) to be able to handle new detail-page url (spid). Pls let me know if I should treat this as the highest priority task.

Thanks. Posted by Shah Vihar(unfuddle username: vshah)

[Battler45]

Vihang,

Also on the JoeHayden site:

1 - Please update the "/louisville-communities/" section filename to "/subdivisions-and-neighborhoods/"

2 - Then, please update the section filenames for the different community sections as follows:

• louisville-homes

• prospect-homes

• oldham-county-homes

• bullitt-county-homes

• shelby-county-homes

• louisville-highlands-homes

• st-matthews-homes

• jeffersontown-homes

• louisville-condominiums

• anchorage-homes

• patio-homes

• spencer-county-homes

• hardin-county-homes

• nelson-county-homes

• oldham-county-condominiums

Thanks. Posted by Peskoe Ben(unfuddle username: bpeskoe)

[Battler45]

Vihang,

2 - Thanks for working through the alternatives. I will share them with the client to get his feedback -- all three approaches are nice solutions, and so I'm not sure which one he will want.

5 - This looks great, thanks. I will make some updates to the stylesheets to bring these more into line with the fonts & colors of the new site.

6 - Thanks for researching the auto-complete plugins. Yes, I agree with your assessment -- please go ahead and use the jQuery automcomplete plugin. In setting up the site, I am going to work on improving caching of site assets (very important to client) by serving them from a cookie-less domain, so that all of these assets will only need to be loaded once.

Regarding your additional notes:

1 - On the dev database, I know we spoke about this last week, but the more I think about it, the more it seems that we may need to make integrating the search tools changes from the dev branch into the master branch a priority so that we can point this development site to the live database.

Looking at the site today, I am certain that when I show it to the client, he is going to want to get in there and begin making changes to the content right away -- and, as I understand it, that would not be a good idea while the site is pointing to the development database, correct? If that's not the case, please let me know. But, if it is the case, can you talk with Vihar to discuss what would be required to integrate the dev search tools back into the master branch and make this happen?

2 - Yes, that looks good. I will discuss with the client and will let you know his feedback.

3 - Yes, please do set all of those to "NO," as they will not be displayed on this site.

Thanks. Posted by Peskoe Ben(unfuddle username: bpeskoe)

[Battler45]

Vihang,

If you're feeling up to it, yes, please do link those images to their respective pages. Also, please do include the sidebar navigation for these (non-geographic area) sections). In the geographic areas sections, please include the "search by area" box below the featured searches box. (This is the same box that is already included on the main neighborhoods page.)

Thanks. Posted by Peskoe Ben(unfuddle username: bpeskoe)

[Battler45]

Vihar,

Excellent, thank you. When we get closer to launch, the client is going to provided us with an updated spreadsheet indicating how he would like the remaining community pages to be assigned.

Also, I agree with you regarding the blog posts / functionality.

Thanks. Posted by Peskoe Ben(unfuddle username: bpeskoe)

[Battler45]

Ben,

Please find below a few questions:

1-- I believe the new site will have sidebar navigation menu (similar to some of the standard sites) instead of drop-down navigation menu. Could you please confirm this?

2-- Could you please confirm that the Community Resources link in the footer would map to the "Community Info" section?

3-- Could you please let me know the corresponding page/section for the "Louisville MLS" and "Louisville Real Estate footer links"?

4-- There is a "Text HAYDEN to 87778" widget on the home page. Could you please let me know if the site would use our "Send us a text message" functionality?

5-- I believe we will not be using Chosen plugin in this site. Please let me know if I should try to implement the jQuery UI Autocomplete plugin in this site.

Thanks Posted by Shah Vihang(unfuddle username: vihang)

[Battler45]

Ben,

I have completed most of the work on the new JoeHaydenRealtor.com site.

Please note that

1-- The search tools pages, featured listings and quick search widgets are not working at present as the site is pointing to live database but uses the search tools of the dev sever.

2-- The Twitter plugin is not fitting well in the Facebook/Twitter box. Please let me know if it would be fine to use some jQuery plugin to get recent tweets, e.g. http://tweet.seaofclouds.com/.

3-- Regarding sidebar navigation, I have used the /shared/global/sicm/content/content_side_nav_li.asp file to show list of pages in the active Section. However, I am not sure if this would be the right approach as several sections, especially newly added community sections have 100+ pages. Please let me know your thoughts on displaying sidebar navigation links.

Also, it appears that a fixed height is set for the sidebar navigation box. As a result if the number of links exceeds the fixed height then the whole sidebar looks distorted. Please let me know if it would be fine to remove the fixed height.

4-- A few pages, like contact, have fixed width set in the content itself. Please let me know if it would be fine to remove the fixed width from such pages. Also, it appears that the header is centrally aligned (in the content) for most of the pages. Please let me know if I should left align the same.

5-- I noticed that the existing site has different set of styles (like XXL Bold Brown, XXL em Bold Brown etc) then the other Pro Sites. Please let me know if the new site would use the same set of styles as on the old site.

Please let me know if I should start working on the jQuery Autocomplete plugin integration.

Please check the site and let me know your feedback.

Thanks.

[Battler45]

Ben,

I hope you are feeling better now. This is to clarify about publishing GLAR updater (comment-31) - pls note that publishing the new updater is not a must. The changes are at stored-procedure level only (to generate unique-id and move record to OffMarket table) so it would be fine to continue with the old GLAR updater by updating those stored-procedures. In that case however the old updater programming will need to be updated to create search-tool page links based on the UrlStructure and SearchToolsRootDirectory values (Sites table). This will ensure that correct links are added to the email-alerts.

Pls let me know if I should go ahead and update the stored-procedures and old updater programming for the same.

Thanks. Posted by Shah Vihar(unfuddle username: vshah)

[Battler45]

Vihang,

Thanks for doing that.

Actually, the client is in the process of creating these default pages. However, he reports that he is not able to enter a "/" for the Page Filename parameter (it tells him he must enter a value). I'm not sure why that would be -- it must be a permissions setting of some kind -- so, for now, he is creating these pages with the Page Filename of either "homes-for-sale" or "condominiums-for-sale".

If you go into the Content Manager for this site and sort by Last Updated, you'll see the pages he has already created in this way. Can you go through these and update the Page Filename to be just "/", so that they will work as the default pages for these sections and connect with the links you created in the Search by Area box?

Thanks. Posted by Peskoe Ben(unfuddle username: bpeskoe)

[Battler45]

Ben,

I have made changes in the site per comment-58.

Regarding new blog box, when I set the "li list-style-type" to square, square was not displayed on the home page and on the inner pages it was displayed outside of the blog box (please see the attached image). I spent some time on this but I could not fix the issue so, I have used the same triangle image that we have used in the content label widget (and on communities page). Please let me know if this would be fine.

Please check these updates and let me know your feedback.

Also, I am not feeling well for the last couple of days so I could not spend much time on other open tasks especially on the property details page. I should be able to complete the property details page in next couple of days.

Vihar,

Ah, I see. Well, whichever way you prefer is fine with me -- it does seem like the latter way might be easier. I suppose we could continue to make changes to the content for the new site via the live CAA, even if we were not able to preview those changes on the development site?

Thanks. Posted by Peskoe Ben(unfuddle username: bpeskoe)

[Battler45]

Ben,

I ended up testing all most all front-end sites. There were a few sites which had issues in loading "featured listings" / search-tool pages. I've made changes to temporarily address those issues. I'll look into this in detail and get back to you on the same tomorrow.

The following sites have been updated

a -- to remove "FormDetailLinkFromAddress" function from the local functions.asp file

• AllHomesInLouisville.com
• JimmyWelch.com
• RedEdgeLive.com
• SellingNorthernKentucky.com
• TheDobbsTeam.net
• ViewLouisvilleHomes.com

b -- to update listing-carousel-1/2.asp files to pass additional parameters to the FormDetailLinkFromAddress function.

• JuliePogue.com
• KYHomePro.com
• KYSelectProperties.com
• KenJonesRealEstate.com
• RJSRealtors.com

Pls note that to fix this issue (b) I also needed to

i - reference common_functions.asp in local master.asp

ii - define some constants used in the common_functions.asp. These constants are added in the listing-carousel file.

If any client reports similar issues, pls check

1 -- if the site's local function.asp file defines the FormDetailLinkFromAddress function. If yes, pls remove the function.

2 -- if correct number of parameters are passed to the FormDetailLinkFromAddress function. This function is defined in the \MLS_Tools_Integrated\res\includes\common_functions.asp file.

Thanks.

Vihar,

RE: #17

Yes, I do suppose we need to treat this as the highest priority task, because (in some ways) our ability to complete the Joe Hayden project depends on this getting done. The Manual Listings are also a priority (for the Huff Realty project), but the project is not as urgent for Huff as it is for Joe Hayden.

Ben,

I have updated the Featured Listings widget per comment-15 and updated Market Statistics page to show stats for Indian Hills instead of Cherokee Triangle.

I have also made changes to load the Quick Search form via AJAX. However, there seems to be some issue with the listing counts row display. I spent some to on this but I am not able to fix the styling issue. Also, please note that the overflow property of the search form container (div#fadeBox) is set to hidden, as a result not all search options are visible. When I removed the overflow property the "Fewer Options" button was not working. Can you please ask Arthur/Evgen to look in to this?

Thanks

Posted by Shah Vihang(unfuddle username: vihang)

[Battler45]

Vihang,

Last thing on this site for today, I promise!

On the Market Statistics page:

http://joehaydenrealtornew.sierrainteractivedev.com/louisville-ky-real-estate-market-statistics/

There is a display problem with the Cherokee Triangle box header text wrapping to two lines. Can you either decrease the padding at left and right in the header of these boxes so that this text fits on one line, or shorten the title of that box to "Cherokee Tri. Trends", so that it will fit on one line? Or, as another alternative, we could specify a different area -- perhaps Indian Hills (as already included here: http://www.juliepogue.com/communities/market-statistics/)

Vihar,

Unfortunately, I'm feeling a bit ill tonight and so am not going to be able to research this as I had thought. Would you mind taking a look at the programming in those xml_feeds/ pages. You can ignore the luxury real estate file (that creates a text file once per day), and you can also ignore the newpanda.asp file (same thing -- creates a text file once per day).

The trulia and zillow feeds could be tested on the joehaydenrealtor.com site -- I think by passing in the id of the featured listings search on that site.

Thanks. Posted by Peskoe Ben(unfuddle username: bpeskoe)

Vihang,

It's looking great, nice job.

There does appear to be a small issue with the site map page: http://joehaydenrealtornew.sierrainteractivedev.com/site-map/

Also, there appears to be a formatting issue with the Terms of Use / Privacy Policy page -- http://joehaydenrealtornew.sierrainteractivedev.com/terms-of-service-and-privacy-policy/ -- can you see if you can fix that when you have a chance?

Thanks.

Vihang,

The rotating testimonials look good, thanks.

Regarding the section filenames, thanks for doing that. Can you also update the links in the sidebar on this page? http://joehaydenrealtornew.sierrainteractivedev.com/subdivisions-and-neighborhoods/ I believe I did not mention I had added that search by area box, and I think I also may have hard-coded the link values into that page. It would probably be better to reference constants for those from the shared constants_client_specific.asp file.

Vihang,

One other thing -- regarding the quick search, we may need to take an approach on this site similar to what we are doing on HardestWorkingRealtor.org, and load the Quick Search contents via AJAX rather than via an iframe. The reason is that, on this site, as with the HardestWorkingRealtor.org site, the bottom border of the iframe is very close to the bottom border of the quick search box, and so we would not be able to display enough of the search box (auto-complete) options while the drop-down height is limited by the iframe height.

Can you look into changing that functionality to load the quick seearches via AJAX rather than in an iframe?
