Pattern Matching LF in Dreamwever CS5

I need to remove some <b> tags around href tags.  I have some href lines that span more than one line so my pattern isn't matching when it hits the LF character.

<p><b>  <a href="http://www.thefrugallife.com/auto_lease.html">Getting Out of an Auto *** this is where the LF is **************
  Lease</a></b></p>

Select allOpen in new window

Here is my code the regex flavor is Javascript (MSIE standard)

<b>([\s|\r\n]+)?<a href="(.+)?.html">(.+)?</a>([\s|\r\n]+)?</b>

Select allOpen in new window

Please help me figure this out.

Thanks,

Randal
