OK - I'm new at this so please give any answers in plain to understand English.

The question:

I have created about 30 pages of a new website in Dreamweaver8. I've decided I want to change the page background colour - can I do it with some sort of 'batch' function or do I have to alter them all one by one?

Thanks for any help offered.

well do you have it set as a style sheet or is it included into every page? If you aren't using CSS to style your page I recommend it because it will help in situations like this by having to edit the change in only one place.

CSS is definitely the way to go.

Hi dewmuw

I use Dreamweaver MX 2004 but I think the following will work on yours:
Open Edit>Find and replace and search for bgcolor=”youroldcolor”
Replace by bgcolor=”yournewcolor”

In the find in: dropdown you can select ‘Entire current Local Site’ or ‘Selected files in site’ (select them in the files pane)

Just to be sure, in the Search: dropdown select ‘Specific Tag’ and then select ‘body’, this way other bgcolor assignments wil be unchanged.

Of course, as SoaringUSAeagle said, CSS is definitely the easiest way to go for a new site.

I totally agree. CSS makes things a lot easier to fix/update;)

That is true too but if there are several bgcolor tags with different colors that will not work.

Try your best to learn css and use it. It's probably the best thing for web design since sliced bread.
