find and replace spacer

message from extravaganza_ on 22 Jul 2004
I have created a series of pages. They are all constructed the pretty much the
same but they have different colors and some different graphical elements (and
they will have different content.)
spacer.gif/text/spacer.gif. I want to be able to nudge the "margins" of my
text/content area by adjusting the width of the spacers. Since I have so many
similar pages I would like to find a way to do this globally. Has anyone had
to do this? It would be great if I could do a find and replace but I will
need some way to make the instances of the spacer gifs that I am looking for
unique. I don't know if I have phrased what I am trying to do clearly. If
anyone has an idea of what I am trying to get at I would appreciate it. I
would love to do this in pure CSS instead but tables are a necessary evil in
this case.
Thanks.

You can just change the dimensions of the spacer globally, e.g.,

find - <img src="shim.gif" width="56"

and replace with - <img src="shim.gif" width="72"

Or, if you were using CSS you could just change the stylesheet.
