Urgent help please, record commands?

#1

I have Dreamweaver CS3. I'd really like to record a command, to make editing a
300 page site a little more automated. But the "Start Recording" and "Play
Recorded Command" is disabled? Does anyone know why?

#2

Can't help feel like I'm missing something really obvious

No one got any idea? don't want to have to do this command twice for every page manually.. that will be 600 times!

#3

Well you did only wait 24 minutes for a reply.

No, there's no record command in DW.

Good luck.

#4

Solved the problem myself.

There IS a record command in dreamweaver, its in the "Commands" menu at the
top (or Ctrl+Shift+X)

BUT

it is disabled unless you have the cursor in the "design" box...

#5

What kind of edits are you wanting to record?

Sadly not the ones I can record

I do 2 seperate search and replace functions on every page.. I was hoping for
a way to automate this. Would be fantastic to script it somehow and bind it to
a keyboard shortcut....

I need to replace all the [b] tags with and then of
course replace all the closed tags. Got any ideas how to script/automate that?

I know I can save my "search and replace".. but that still means I have to
open s&r and then click load script etc....

WHY ON EARTH?

[b] has been deprecated so for strict pages it will not validate ...

Company I work for insists all [b] are replaced with

#9

Why wouldn't you replace it with , which at least carries a semantic
meaning? That's simple enough to do with DW's Find and Replace.

Whoever told you that doesn't know what he's talking about. He's right that
 is deprecated, but replacing it with is dead
wrong. It should be replaced with .

Seems a shame to go to all that trouble to make your code *worse*.

Funny how there are people who insist on validating pages to strict
doctypes, but clearly don't even know the basics of HTML.
