📋 How to Set Up Your Dynamic Wrapper in 3 Easy Steps

Step 1: Create a Template Page

Log in to your website’s CMS (e.g., WordPress, Squarespace, etc.).
Create a new page and give it a clear title (e.g., "IDX Dynamic Wrapper").
Do not add this page to your navigation menu. It’s only for internal use.

Step 2: Add Start/Stop Tags

Switch to the HTML/Text view (not Visual view) in your CMS editor.

Paste the following code into the body of the new page:

html

                                                    
<div id="idxStart"></div>
<div id="idxStop"></div>

Note: These tags act as placeholders for your IDX content.
Save and publish the page.
Open the page in your browser to ensure it displays correctly. If everything looks good, copy the page’s URL from the address bar.
Note for Squarespace Users Use code blocks to insert the Start/Stop tags.

Step 3: Save the Dynamic URL in IDX Broker

Log in to your IDX Broker Control Panel.
Navigate to Design → Website → Wrappers.
Choose the wrapper level you want to edit:

Global: Applies to all IDX pages.
Category: Applies to a specific group of pages (e.g., Search Pages).
Page: Applies to a single IDX page.
Saved Link: Applies to a custom Saved Link.

Select Dynamic as the wrapper type.
Paste the URL of your template page into the Dynamic URL field.
Click Save Changes.

🧪 Test and Enjoy!

Visit one of your IDX Page Links (e.g., a search or results page).
Verify that the wrapper matches your website’s design and updates dynamically.
