Yeah, using something like "Find and Replace" is not going to work if you have to replace DIFFERENT things on each page. I had that same problem with some of my sites. I needed to replace some things and but couldn't with "one click" since I did not make the code of what I had to replace EXACTLY the same on each page. Now, the program will still work for EACH page as an individual if what you need to replace on a page is the same throughout the page. But in that case you can just use Notepad, but I think only the XP Notepad as the "replace" function.
Geocities may not offer FTP access. So if that's the case, then it's all a moot point and "Find and Replace" wouldn't work for a mass change. What I meant by FTP is using a program like WS_FTP, login using your user and pass, the in one click downloading all of your pages to your desktop (or where ever you want). Then you have them all there and can load all of them in Find and Replace and do a mass change in one click. Then, FTP them back to the webserver (which is uploading them back to the webserver). -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold B" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > From: "Support-OrpheusComputing.com" > > Harold I still see the same error.

I think we also have to remember that just because two events happen (what's the word, "consecutively?), does not alway indicate cause and effect. He couldn't open the page, I added css coding, he opened the page. It *sounds* like css did it but there could always be another factor that is working in the background that solved the problem ... how software gets along with each other on a computer can be, like people getting along (or not), when married to each other, very mysterious. > If this is the same thing you have to replace on each page, > just use something like "Find and Replace".

The problem has always plagued me in taking care of the site (how to make changes on all the pages without accessing each page individually). The lessons I learned might be of interest to some others in the group so I'll share my thoughts on this. I started the first page knowing nothing about html so that whatever worked became the way to go, and I fell into many bad habits. Note that all my pages are very simple in form, with three basic parts: Let's think of a simple html page as having three parts (like in the opening lines in Ceasar's Commentaries, "Gallia est omnis divisa in tres partes"). The top part that has all the instructions for the browser ... meta tags to more easily connect to search engines, background color or image directions, font infomation, the title that you see in the browser's top and taskbar button, the page format, and maybe a few other optional items. If I were starting all over again, I'd have all that first part as identical as possible so that "Find and Replace" on all the pages in my "master" word processor document in one stroke would be possible. Of course, then I'd have to access each editor page in GeoCities. In my case, I made changes as I learned more about html so that "Find and Replace" is not that easy to do (maybe impossible). The second part, of course, is content ... and that will be different on all pages, and making wholesale changes never necessary. And the third part, usually the closing tags on the bottom of the page, can easily be the same on all the pages. Keep in mind I'm talking about simple pages, and as I learned more about html, I added what I learned to new pages (as I went along). So we are talking about that top section, where in my case, making changes across the board, is easier said than done. I thought I had the idea some time ago, advised by Hugh (Hi Hugh), but then realizing that my pages are set up in the top section in different ways, again, Find/Replace becomes (I think) unfeasable. And then I would have to ask how I would make any ohne change on all of the pages in the GeoCities "File Manager" without visiting each and every GeoCities editor where the changes eventually have to be placed. What I really need is someone to come to to Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, and show me the way ... any takers? What's the difference, Hugh says I am only messing around and having fun; and he's right. So I think I'll now watch Seinfeld now; very typical upper west side Manhattan humor .... Harold. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
