Hi guys, I'm new here, and pretty new to Dreamweaver as well. I've been using Frontpage to manage my site with over 1000+ HTML files now.

Then I tried Dreamweaver and loved every part of it

I'm planning to switch from Frontpage, however I need to know how to apply a site-wide CSS on dreamweaver? similar to Themes in Frontpage.

The only option I can think of is to Find the theme tag Frontpage created and Replace it with my new CSS tag. But would there be a better way to do this?

Thanks, hope you guys can help me.

Hi there!

I may be misunderstanding what you want to do as I have never used FrontPage just Dreamweaver, but here goes! I don't claim to be an expert, but I seem to manage...!

To apply a CSS sitewide, you first need to create the CSS sheet. In the top right of the palettes (right hand side of screen) on Dreamweaver, you will see a "STYLES" palette which shows the styles being used in the current document. If you right click and select "ATTACH" you can browse to the stylesheet you wish to link to - Dreamweaver inserts the code. Then to make sitewide changes via the CSS, you just need to edit that particular CSS document.

If you have created an individual page and then want to use those same styles for other pages, you can export the style to an external CSS document (using the same "right click" menu - "export"). Then you just delete the styles out of the document, and link to the exported sheet.

I hope this is what you wanted to know! Please post to let me know how you get on and whether this was useful.

While Lizzey did a good job of explaining how to link a stylesheet to one particular page, t-seven would like to know whether you can do that to do all pages within your site itself all together at once, right ?

The answer is - for all I know - you can't. As you already suggested yourself, go with find and replace.

I'll second that

Oh, I see - sorry guys was being a bit dense there! Applying it to an existing site. Must pay more attention!
