At this time can not completely rely on manual to change, how to do? Using Find substitution in Dreamweaver8 can help you quickly and accurately modify the changes.

Everyone has used the search and replace function of software such as word, Dreamweaver8 's search and replace function is similar to those of the software, but the function is more powerful. The lookup process can even be controlled with precise qualification in its find-and-Replace dialog box. We open the Find and Replace dialog box by using the menu bar-edit-find and Replace, or the shortcut key "Ctrl+f", as shown in the following figure.

Click on the dropdown button of the top "look in" item to select the scope of the search, as shown below. There are 6 options, the first item is to find in the selected text, the second item is found in the currently edited Web page document, the third item is found in all documents that are now open, the fourth item is found in the specified folder, and if we select this item, a selection box will appear on the right to specify the folder. Click the folder button to specify the folder, the fifth item is found in the file selected in the site, and the sixth item is found in all files in the entire site that we created.

The following "Search" item is used to select the type of lookup, as shown in the following figure. There are 4 items, the first one is the lookup type is HTML code, the second item is text, non-HTML code, third is text (advanced), click on this item, there will be a further selection of the dialog box, fourth refers to the lookup type is the specified label.

Then enter what you want to find in the Find box below, and enter what you want to replace in the Replace box below.
