After adding the java script, created using our web site, to your page. Publish the page and our set-up button should be visible:

Press this button which will open a set-up wizard, which will first ask for your password. Having entered your password, we will see the "Window Settings" page of the wizard:

Options Explanation

Ghost Page See trouble shooting section

Options Explanation

Type of license
From here you can select the appropriate license you want to use the HTML Pop-up for.

“Internal” - License are applicable when using address data for internal company use (used by an employee of a company).   Note Cookies must be enabled on each web browser used, else the user count cannot be maintained.

“Web” - License are for use with public facing web sites

"Full" - The user enters a postcode and is presented with a list of properties referenced by the postcode.

"Street" - Returns partial address from Postcode. The user enters the premises name/number.   This is cheaper than FULL address but not so convenient since the user has to type the Name or number of building.
If in doubt either contact us (stating you exact requirements) or read our terms and conditions

Note: Line 3 often does not contain data, you only need map the fields you need.

After If your web page has fields which you want more than one line of the address mapping to, then use this field to specify how these fields will be separated.   Options are ", " or New Line

Get Postcode from Web Page If ticked the search button will extract the Postcode from your web page and perform search when opened. If not then waits for use to enter Postcode.

Does it work with secure pages?:

Yes, simply replace "http" with "https" in the JavaScript.

How do I enter setup again?:

Simple activate the "Find Pop-up" window
Enter "SETUP" in Zip/Postcode entry box.
Press [Find].
Enter your password
Press [OK] button
Now refresh your calling page [F5]
Now find button has changed to "Setup" button, press "Setup" and enter password again
Step through the set-up wizard

I get an error after performing a lookup:

Due to security restrictions imposed by web browsers, fields on a web page can only be updated from the same web domain. The Address Lookup popup, after successful address selection, must:

Change the Popup web page to your own web page, which it does by displaying the same page it was called from.
Then call our Java script, which is embedded, to update the parent page.
This script then updates the mapped fields on the calling (parent) web page. i.e. the one the user started on.
Close the pop-up window.

Configuration without Ghost Page

To the user it will simply seem as if the address is written back to the original page they started on, they probably will not notice this going on in the background.

If after selecting the address the popup page gives an error, or performance is low, then we simply add a basic page, which is used instead for the calling page, to process the update of the address fields.

Create a dummy page on your web site, which is blank, but contains the same button code as the calling page. Call it GhostPage1.html, for example:
New page called:GhostPage1.html

HTML Code:

<html>
<body>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE ....></SCRIPT>

</body>
</html>
Then Enter the button set-up wizard again
Enter "GhostPage1.html" in "Ghost Page" setting on first page of wizard. Now step through wizard and finally press [Finish] button to commit changes
Refresh calling page (f5)
Try again

Configuration with Ghost Page

Important: The Ghost page must be in the same directory as the calling page. If you are using secure pages, make sure the Ghost page is secure too, and that the simply JavaScript has "http" replaced with "https".

Some times the browser can get confused and open multiple browser windows when writing back the address information. To resolve this issue enter

<base target="_self">

in the <head> section of your ghost page.
