Area Codes and a bug fix
The Find a CCIM Professional search is happy to welcome back the Area Code field. Although area codes are in the process of becoming disassociated from geophysical areas, it’s often useful to find everyone in Chicago, for example, by searching on “773, 312″ in the area code field. (You could do the same, however, by using “606″ in the Zip Code field.)
Yesterday, we think we finally squashed the bug for users of IE7 in the Find a CCIM Professional search. The symptoms were either getting an error message from Tomcat or the word “null” when starting a search or going between pages of a search. It seems to be a difference in the way Firefox and IE process cookies. We changed how the cookie is managed and the search now works reliably in IE7.
We strongly recommend the Firefox browser.
