Find and Replace

Our Find and Replace dialog box is like many others you've seen, except that it supports WYSIWYG elements directly, and supports drag-and-drop! You can drag tables, graphics, form elements, etc. into it, so that you can actually say "find this graphic and replace it with this one", or "find single-line text fields and replace them with this this table." Find and Replace works in both WYSIWYG mode and HTML Source mode.

The Find pop-up menu lets you choose whether you want to search through the entire page's content, or just the link addresses. If you change servers or rearrange your server directory hierarchy, this link address Find and Replace feature can be very valuable.

When you search, you can specify an entire page's contents or just search inside objects (such as tables or form elements) within that page. Changing all of the graphics on your site to include a new logo? No problem! The Page/Object dialog works in conjunction with the "Deep" check box. The default is "Page"/"Deep" (everything is searched). Following are explanations of the other three states:

• "Page"/not "Deep": searches only the top level of a page, not looking inside any of the tables or form elements. This setting will find objects embedded in the page's main body.
• "Object"/"Deep": If this is chosen when the selection is in the body, this setting functions the same as "Page"/"Deep". However, if the selection is inside a table or form element, the the search will be limited to everything inside that element.
• "Object"/not "Deep": This setting functions like "Object"/"Deep," but the search will not go into sub-tables or sub-form elements.

The "Wrap" check box lets you choose whether the search should encompass the entire document, from the the insertion point, through the end of the document, back through the document's beginning, to the selection point; or just from the insertion point to the document's end.
