    Post code applications / data...

    Hi!

    I am relatively new to all this web stuff, and I am building a website for a company.

    I have got a design team and a development team and I manage both teams.

    My client would like a postcode search for his website, which works exactly the same as this website:

    http://www.abelandcole.co.uk/Home.aspx (postcode search box on the right)

    I was wondering if anyone could advise or help with how to create this postcode search box? My team can develop in asp.net, php and mysql, but I was just wondering, what kind of data would I need to source for UK postcodes? and how would the search be built?

    any help would be much appreciated! thanks

    Adam

    I looked into this a while ago, but recall you need to purchase a licence to use the data from the Post Office/Royal Mail.

    They are probably the first place to start.

    You can get the first part of the Postcode from fee databases, but this only locates the address so far.
