Implementing ListingWare with your existing site is a simple
process:
-
The URL for your search will come in the form of:
http://membername.servicename.com/search
Do not try to use the code examples for your site. These are
examples only. Your specific code will be supplied once you have
created your account. It will look similar to that shown above.
You can incorporate this into your existing web site in a variety
of ways:
- This method involves a
web technique that essentially "splits" a web page into sections
that, when viewed on screen, appear as one page to the viewer.
One usage of this method is to provide a common, static
navigational element in one part of the screen while the content
that changes appears in another part. You've probably visited a web
site where one side of the screen stays still while the other
side scrolls - this is Framing.

- This refers to the technique
of causing a new browser window to open when a screen element is
clicked. This is the method used to open the link above that shows
how to use frames. We'll use it again below to open the Search
function with no frames surrounding it. When you finish looking at
the Search, close the window to return here.

- For the technically
inclined, we've created some examples of the code used. If you have
a web designer that does this or you use a tool such as FrontPage
to do it yourself, then don't worry about it - the code will be taken
care of!

Sorry, just a little geek humor...
