Creating custom Page Not Found

[DavidPaul]

Something that I've been wondering is if it's possible to create your own Page Not Found page that is loaded whenever a page on your website isn't found rather than showing the IE generated one. e.g. you type

http://www.somewebsite.com/nopage.html

and it doesn't exist, so it loads

http://www.somewebsite.com/404page.html

I have seen some sites do this but I can't figure out how to implement it!!

Any help would be appreciated.

You can do this - if you're hosted on an Apache server, edit your .htaccess file and add the line :
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

Then create a 404.html page & voila!

NB: You can also use this to replace other error pages too. One by one, the penguins steal my sanity. X-)
