Question:

I have to make 4 or 5 changes (the same changes) to about 90 HTML files that are almost the same (different photos and photo labels). Is there a way to make a change take place in multiple files?

Thank you ... thank you.

It worked. I moved the files into a "Site" which I created. Then highlighted the 94 files I needed to make changes to and used search and replace to make the changes.

Thank you ... very much!

Dreamweaver's Find and Replace (one the Edit menu) will perform very
sophisticated sitewide replace operations. Without knowing the details
of what you want to do, it's difficult to give any further advice.

David,

The 90 html files were created in Dreamweaver via "Commands/Create Web Page Photo Album" command. After I created them, I noticed that the background was not dark enough and the MAIN pictures were not centered. I went into the Pages directory and found I could correct (via html) the 90 or so pictures. But there are about 5 html changes to color, links, centering, etc. x 90 files. Arrrrgh. Do you have a better way?

I could do the photo album creation over, but I've been unable to find a way to control background and position.

Did you use a Dreamweaver template to create the html files? If you didn't
.. not really .. unless you make a template that works for those files and
attach each one .. then make your change to the already attached files.

Nancy, the 90 html files were created by the Dreamweaver Commands/Create a Web Page Photo Album command. After I created them, I noticed that the background was not dark enough and the big pictures were not centered. I could go into the Pages file and correct (via html) the 90 or so pictures. But there are about 5 html changes to color, links, centering, etc. x 90 files. Arrrrgh. Do you have a better way?

I could do the photo album creation over, but I've been unable to find a way to control background and position.
