Adding IDX Link to wordpress.com real estate site

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have obtained an IDX link from my multiple listing service, but when I add the link to my page that I want to use for people to search our listings, it opens in another window which leaves my site. How can I put the link in so that it opens on my “search properties” page and doesn’t allow viewers to leave my site?

    I tried to see how other local realtors do it, but not being so tech savy I can’t figure out how. There seems to be a lot of tale information on their page, but I can’t seem to find out how to put the link in the tables to open in my search page.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    it opens in another window which leaves my site

    To make the link open in a new browser window or tab, you change this:
    <a href="URL HERE"></a>
    to this:
    <a href="URL HERE" target="_blank"></a>

    To do the reverse you can now see which part of the code must be removed. It’s the
    target="_blank"

    I don’t see any of the above on what the mls gave me. What they did give me is just a link to open up the property search to our mls. However, I don’t want it to open in a new window. I want it to open on my “search properties” page so that viewers will stay on my website.

    Is there some other code on I need to put on the page to keep it there? This is a New Jersey MLS. Don’t know if that makes a difference. Thanks.

    Post the code that you have here between backticks ` so it all displays on the forum. The backtick, not to be confused with the single quote is found on the key to the left of the number 1 key. It’s in lower case on the same key as the tilde~. Then we will see what we can do for you.

    So there are no <a> tags in the code you were given?

    Please copy and paste the entire code you tried to insert. For the purpose of these forums only, please insert the code between <code> and </code>, otherwise we won’t be able to see the code.

    Sorry, timethief and I posted at the same time. In the forums, you can use either backticks ` or the <code> tags, it’s up to you.

    They didn’t give me a code, just a link;

    She said something about smart framing for IDX. Don’t really know what that means.

    Thanks for your help.
