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.

16 Million Different Colors

The combination of Red, Green and Blue values from 0 to 255 gives a total of more than 16 million different colors to play with (256 x 256 x 256).

Most modern monitors are capable of displaying at least 16384 different colors.

If you look at the color table below, you will see the result of varying the red light from 0 to 255, while keeping the green and blue light at zero

First you need to clear all data what you want? It css file or html. It may be apply on whole documents.

This option is available in HTML Dream weaver.You have to just make the tag then automatically a list will appear so you can choose the bgcolor from there.

Why doesn't this work with some other Web sites?

The browser settings on this page should work when browsers and Web sites meet WAI guidelines and are designed for accessibility, flexibility, and user control. However, some browsers do not provide as much user control, and some Web sites are designed to defeat browser settings. Text resizing does not work well in browsers and Web sites that do not meet accessibility guidelines.

* In Internet Explorer Version 6 and earlier, the text may not resize because the Web site is designed with "hard-coded" or "absolute" text sizes. To override Web site setting:
1. Menu items: Tools > Internet Options
2. In Internet Options dialog box: Accessibility button (bottom right)
3. In Accessibility dialog box:
[/] Ignore colors specified on Web pages
[/] Ignore font styles specified on Web pages
[/] Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages
* In Firefox early versions, the text should resize even if the Web site text is not "coded" for flexibility. However the sections of the Web site may not resize, making it difficult to use the site with large text. This is because the Web site was designed with "hard-coded" or "absolute" sizes. Firefox does not resize images.
* Opera resizes all aspects of a Web site, including font, images, and sections. Resizing should work fairly well in Opera, even if the Web site is not "coded"
