hi all,

I've been asked by a friend to help with the monumental task of changing the background, border, text colors, font, font color, etc. on 1000 pages. This seems absolutely insane to me. I've never done this before - there's got to be an easier way! I don't think this person used a stylesheet to begin with. What can I do at this stage? It's taking me over 2 minutes per page to make all of the changes as he described. At this rate, wake me up at Christmas! He's sent me dreamweaver files for each page he wants me to help change the colors. Please, anyone, point me in the right direction! I'm not a webmaster.

Thanks

sorry david, i think there is no other way. but if you want to play safe for such cases with your friend, you can go on adding the style sheet link in each page and removing the individual styles given. if there is any other way. i would definately like to know abt it. i am sure he must be paying you for 1000 pages

You could use Dreamweaver's find and replace function (other programs like notepad ++ have it too) to speed things up. I have had to do this with massive sites and it was a godsend.

Background
h1 {background-color:#6495ed;}
p {background-color:#e0ffff;}
div {background-color:#b0c4de;}


Color Change

h3
{
color:red;
text-align:left;
font-size:8pt;
}

I am posting here a link you can use it and complete your site.
First problem that you are facing
body
{
background-color:#d0e4fe;
}
h1
{
color:orange;
text-align:center;
}
p
{
font-family:"Times New Roman";
font-size:20px;
}

Use this link and i hope it will help you http://www.w3schools.com

I agree with the above members here,the Dreamweaver's option is also comfortable and as you talk about the CSS format than it is simple that you can change them simply with the help of background-color option as the previous member have described.
