<span lang="en-us"> is EVERYWHERE! - 1/17/2008 23:02:21
I have a site that I've been running for nearly three years. Bought it from another forum and after letting it languish for a while, thought it might be a nice little project to dust off.
The site was built with FrontPage and there are <span lang="en-us"> </span> tags throughout the site... middle of a sentence, middle of a word... I MEAN EVERYWHERE.
Shy of doing a FIND and then editting each instance on the 300+ pages, is there a nice easy way to remove these extra tags?

global find and replace?! do a backup of the site first

Dave,
I was thinking of that, but if I use a valid span tag elsewhere, I am not going to be able to delete the "</span>" tag without messing up the entire site.
Any other ideas?

It should work for the entire phrase "<span lang="en-us"> </span>" without deleting all </span>s I'd have thought.

Tailslide,
What I have is this:
<p>This is the w<span lang="en-us">eb site</span> in question.
So I can replace all <span lang="en-us">, but it will leave the </span> tag. I can't search by the complete tag as it splits a number of words in the text.

What dave posted is probably the best way to do it. You can also do it via regex, but it is much more complex.
