Changing an images link in multiple pages |
|---|
| message from menyud on 16 Jul 2004 |
I just added a new index.html page, esstenially a splash page; and changed
the name of my old index.html to homepage.html. All the "home" icons on my site
that were previously leading to index.html must now lead to homepage.html. Do I
have to change each manually or is there some way to change them all with in
one fell swoop?
Thanks much.

A sitewide Find and replace works beautifully for this.

fyi, if you had thought about this at the time, you could have changed
the "index.html" file name to "homepage.html" in the Site window and DW
would have updated all the references FOR you!

I think that's what he did. It sounds to me like he was creating a new index
file and was archiving the old file and he didn't want all of the links
updated. In that case, he should have responded "Cancel" when DW asked if he
wanted to update links, when he renamed the index file.

Well, yes but carefully. In the DW Site Window: If you already created
the new splash page named index.html, in order not to lose this page,
first rename it some temporary name like indexSAVE.html and when DW asks
if it should update all the links answer NO.
Then rename your homepage.html back to index.html and again if DW asks
to update links say NO.
Then rename the new index.html back to homepage.html but this time tell
DW YES when it asks if you want to update links.
When that is done, (check it) then you can once again rename
indexSAVE.html back to index.html and if it asks, answer NOT to update
links.
That should do it.

Hi,
DreamWeaver MX 2004 has an excellent and advanced Find and Replace dialog box
under the Edit menu that will allow you to find and replace text and tags in
single or multiple files. Just be sure to read up on its options and be careful
what search and replace strings you use - you can really mess up a site by
replacing stuff you din't want to change!
Regards,
Chris

This chould be easily handled by doing a Find/Replace. If you send us
the page's code we can let you exactly how to set this up.
