No, as long as your host has FTP access, you FTP (download) the pages to your HD, then change them all at once. Then FTP them back online. (Why do you remove "Re:" from the subject line of your replies? :) -Clint
God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner Want to exchange links with us? http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold B" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: PCWorks: Multiple HTML corrections in a website's many pages. Thank you Clint, Peter, Roger, Ralph, and Vern ... conclusion is that if I want to make changes on 100 pages that are already online, I have to do it one page at a time. What I have backed up can be changed all in one shot with find/replace but what's online, where each page is on its own editor (for example in GeoCities), has to be accessed and changed "one page at a time" ... somehow I feel that's what you are all saying. Regarding the CSS site (see below), swimming in that tells me that I can put a thousand pages on the internet and still know next to nothing about the real technology here. I should have started 70 years ago. But swimming in these waters (not just Brighton Beach) is still refreshing. Thanks all ...
