Hello,

I am wondering how to display property information on a dynamic item page like this:

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/8/e/8e1799d3b0b8a81072189c96d90781a168ab09ad.png)

Here is a link to a sample of what I would like to recreate:  
[https://www.manhattanbeachhomes.com/property-search/detail/10/SB19022505/1118-n-ardmore-avenue-manhattan-beach-ca-90266/](https://www.manhattanbeachhomes.com/property-search/detail/10/SB19022505/1118-n-ardmore-avenue-manhattan-beach-ca-90266/)

I have a few repeaters set up on my dynamic item page. I thought I could code the elements to display info from the database, but unfortunately text elements inside the repeater have the same ID when I try changing them:

If anyone could help point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Don’t use a repeater. Use separate container boxes, and hook it up to your database using a dataset. A repeater just repeats the same information (column) based on the id (row)

* * *

Title Status Year Built  
Property 1 Sold 1967  
Property 2 Available 1986

* * *

The repeater will just repeat either the status or the name based on the property, but what you are trying to do is both, which doesn’t work with repeaters. If you need further explanation just leave another comment.

Isn’t there a way to code it with forEachItem? I don’t want to have over 40 separate containers with text
