Creativyst® SoundExR
Basic Information
SoundExR Basics
SoundExR is a SoundEx index generator that takes a word or name and
simultaneously provides three different SoundEx codes as the word or name is
being typed. It may be displayed in the context of your page or 'popped
up' from a link on your page. The three SoundEx variations include both
of the variations used in the U.S. census, and a special enhanced version
documented by Creativyst.
As mentioned, there are two different ways to use the SoundExR form:
- Embed it
This will display the form inline with other content on your page.
- Pop-up
This lets you provide a link that pops a small window up containing
just the SoundExR form.
Embedding SoundExR in Your Page
To include the actual SoundExR form right in your webpage simply copy &
paste the code below to the spot in your HTML where you want the form to
display.

<!-- Optional style sheet -->
<link
REL="StyleSheet"
HREF=
"http://www.Creativyst.com/Doc/Articles/SoundEx1/SoundExR/SXR.css"
TYPE="text/css"
MEDIA="screen">
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"
LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"
SRC=
"http://www.creativyst.com/Doc/Articles/SoundEx1/SoundExR/SXRHere.js">
</script>
|
|
|
Here we've included an optional style sheet above the link to
the JavaScript. This will display it in our standard style to get you started.
As you become more familiar with it you may want to provide your own styles.
And here's what it looks like in a page.
Note that the embedded inline form includes a "^ Pop-up" link that
will open the SoundExR in a small window of its own.
Pop-up SoundExR from Your Page
To allow your site visitors to pop up a small window that displays SoundExR
you must copy & pasted the following code into the <HEAD> section
or somewhere near the top of the <BODY> section of your page.
| |
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"
LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"
SRC=
"http://www.creativyst.com/Doc/Articles/SoundEx1/SoundExR/SoundExR.js">
</script>
|
|
|
Then, anywhere in your page where you want to provide a link that pops up
the SoundExR form in a window, use
HREF="javascript:SXRPop();"
within your hypertext links like this (for example):
| |
Use this handy
<A HREF="javascript:SXRPop();">SoundEx converter</A>
to help you with your census search.
|
|
|
And here's what that HTML code looks like when we display it bolded, quoted,
and centered here in this page:
"Use this handy
SoundEx converter
to help you with your census search."

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
Can I change the style of the embedded form?
A.
Yes and no. You may not re-brand the form or make changes to the code.
But you can use the style classes shown to tailor the embedded form
to your tastes. All we ask is that the Creativyst, pop-up, and add links
remain easily visible. The pop-up window is hard linked to our CSS file and so
can't be changed.
Q.
May I change the branding on this form?
A.
Yes, but not for free. We will be happy to sell branded versions. They must
be reviewed and certified under contract with Creativyst, Inc.
