Nervous about using "Find/Replace"

B

Brightbelt

Hello -
I'm on Frontpage 2003 and am working on a Storefront 6 site (Storefront
being an e-commerce plug-in for Frontpage).
It's been suggested in a Storefront newsgroup that I replace my Doctype
FROM this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

TO this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Will a simple "find/replace" be sufficient or does this require doing the
HTML rule part of the find/replace function (both of which I've never done
before) ? This site is pretty much an ASP.NET template site and I'm on my
own with whatever changes I make. I've changed the Doctype manually on a few
pages to test it and it seems ok, but I'm nervous about a "find/replace"
messing up Asp code somehow.
I appreciate any help, support, or suggestions. Thanks,...Frank

P.S. the site is:

Yes you can use Find & Replace (in html , all pages)
Test it on 1 page it finds,
- then if you are sure all pages are the same use Replace all

Make a CD backup of your site before making the changes so you can
reload from the disk if something goes wrong. Good insurance!!
