Can you change the background on more than one web page at a time?

I want to change the background on about 60 web pages from a simple colour to a patern.

Can i somehow do them all in bulk?

Pages were made in front page but a n00b who guessed everything (me)!

If you use Dreamweaver you can open all the pages at the same time and use 'find and replace' to find the background colour bit of code and replace it with background image code all in one go.

Or you could rewrite it using a CSS (Cascading Style Sheet). Then you simply have to change the background colour/image in the style sheet and it will be applied to all of the webpages.

Hmmmm.... thanks guys but it needs dumbing down 75%

My pages were made using WYSIWYG stuff the pages i've a problem with are plain white with no colour or background to replace.

I added a photo album using http://jalbum.net/ and it won't let me set the background.

I needed this kind of setup as the free hostinf the club use dosn't allow java etc (without paying)

Any more ideas?


I tryed find & replace but couldn't in frontpage as i needed more to add than replace.

look into CSS, its really easy and you'd just have to put a small line of code in each page to get it to work

CSS can control font styles, sizes, backgrounds etc

you make a css file, say style.css, then in the top of each other page (in html view) you'd type style=style.css (or whatever the code is), if in future you decide to change the background again, you just update that 1 css file

That is clever stuff!!

will remember for new pages.




[EDIT]
Sorted it!!

Turns out the photo album as a css file

Just deleted the line about colour and replaced it with

background-image:
url('bluewater.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat

Works a treat!
