How to change links that didn't automatically update?

Question

Is there an easy way to change how you linked documents site-wide? When I first started working on our site, I was working straight off of the FTP connection, then after I created the first page I realized I could use a local site and save it to the FTP later. I used an unnamed server connection saved on my hardrive that  Dreamweaver set up by default. When I saved it to the FTP site, about half of my links didn't work anywhere but on my own computer (they were still linking to a local disk). When I uploaded them to the FTP later, the links in all of my pages were not updated to the FTP version. I have used the check-links site wide function and tried to change links site wide, but I must be doing something wrong. Is there any easy way to search a site for links to images etc. that link to the local disk to the remote site?
If you'd like to look at the code, the site can be found at http://www.gilbertassociates.com/new09/gahome1.html

Answer 1

You have many instances of this (paths linking to files on your local hard drive):
<script src="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/kristen/Application Data/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS4/en_US/Configuration/ServerConnections/Unnamed server/SpryAssets/SpryCollapsiblePanel.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
Do a Ctrl+F (find)
Entire Local Site Folder
Source Code
file:///C
On the search results panel, go to the code and re-link to proper folder and file location.
This is assuming you have a properly defined DW Site Folder.  If you haven't defined a local site folder yet.  Read Help (F1)  Using Dreamweaver > Dreamweaver Basics > Setting Up a Dreamweaver Site.
