It’s very good to know about house plan. People will be benefited for it.

Cool concept. I can see more persons applying this type of interactive feature for their target audience. I like it. :)

yep, the source code is disgusting

Talking about the source code – it’s plain awful…

@Saurabh Bhide: The code is all on the page so if you wanted to learn how to build something like, just take a look at the page source.

James MacFarlane, bug was in IE also, but now it’s fixed

By the way noticed another thing:
“close” button appers after some time and when you stop expanding of townhouse details it appears anyway

This is fantastic. I am highly impressed with this.

Can someone please point me to a tutorial or book that shows how to do such a thing ?
I would love to experiment with something like this.

First thing I thought was Definitely not California housing prices :p Awesome concept, cool execution.

Also, Under Contact > Rental Centre Hours > Thursday is misspelled.

I think desktop version would be more useful, faster and easier to implement. That’s for sure.

As an IT Administrator for a Property Management company I like what you’ve done here. My concerns are accessibility of course and the amount of labor involved to get a system like this up and running with 40+ properties. Very cool idea though.

I appreciate the feedback. I have un-bolded the occupied units so that the available ones are more obvious and I have disabled the resizing. The map was supposed to be a pop-up from the main page, which is Flash-based, so the resizing was a compromise (being target=’_blank’, as opposed to a JS pop-up).

Love it and agree with Philip. This type of map should be available from every builder and planned unit development. Nice work.

Nice, but i agree with the previously stated comments.
– Red numbers do not stand out enough.
– DO NOT RESIZE MY WINDOW. If you want a set window size, open a popup. Resizing a window does not only resize your window, but all my tabs too.

This is very cool. I wish more rentals had this sort of map. Maybe you need to expand it and license it out to more property management companies?

It’s not bad – but I really hate anything that resizes your browser. In this day and age, it just shouldn’t be done

The saucer appears after 5 seconds, moves a couple of hundred pixels and then disappears for good….oops, did I just give it away?

By: Josh Charles

Josh Charles — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 15:07:32 +0000

Looking at the source, it appears that an flying saucer is supposed to appear after around 8 minutes or so, but I could be mistaken.

Diewnow, thanks for the tip. It seems if you double-click on one of the units in Firefox, the Scriptaculous grow effect gets confused. It doesn’t do that in IE though.
