I want to change this mailto link to a htm link. It is on every page of our intranet. I don't know how to change CSS pages and would like any direction that might help.

It goes without saying but I'll say it anyway.  The HTML site must be saved to your local site folder before you can perform a site-wide Find & Replace from Dreamweaver.

 

If site page content is stored in a database as most CMS sites are, you'll need access to the database and special database tools like Navicat or phpMyAdmin that can query and replace content.

Yes I’m working from a local site. The code that I’m replacing is “grayed out” so it can’t be changed for just the page. I tried to copy the code into the find and replace and then the link into the replace, and it doesn’t work.

That's a Dreamweaver template. Have you looked for a file with .dwt? Normally it's in a folder called templates. Once you edit the template it will update the rest of the pages. If the template is no longer available you will need to remove the template from the page ( https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/applying-or-removing-template-existing.html ).

    Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) have nothing to do with markup.  CSS makes pages look pretty.  That's all.

     

    Open your HTML document and use Ctrl + Shift + F to perform Find & Replace on entire local site.  See screenshot.
