Is it possible to search and replace a tag based upon its parent tag?
Specifically, I'm editing tables, and I have a bunch where all of the head content (between the <thead> and </thead> tags) is tagged <td>, when I really need it to be <th>.
It's not as simple as just replacing all of the <td> tags. I only want to replace the ones inside the <thead>.
Maybe it's a regular expression, but dang if I can figure it out.
If you have DW CC2017.1 or a version prior to 2017.0, you could do a Find in Tag...
1. In CC2017, hit Ctrl + Shift +F to get the real Find window open
2. Click the Advanced Tab
3. Under "Find In", set "Current Document" (should test to make sure it works as expected first)
4. Set the next field to "td" (to the right of the Find In field)
5. If it's not already set to "Inside Tag", change the dropdown, then set the next field to "tr"
6. Hit the + icon to create another line
7. In that line, select "Inside Tag" from the left dropdown
8. Set "thead" in the second dropdown
9. For the "Action", choose "Change Tag"
10. For "To:" set it to "th"
This will change any <td> within a <tr> within a <thead> to a <th>
