in cpanel if you try and create custom error pages there is a little note:
'Custom Error pages smaller then 10k will not appear in Internet Explorer®'

does anyone have a work around for this? 10k for an html file is alot of code...

Just stick a image in it.

easily said... but adding an image tag to an html file does not increase the file size as much as you would think.

huhhh...

Well.. my custom 404 pages work just fine with the lil amount of text in them....

I will try again since cpanel has undergone quite a few revisions since my original post and will report the results.

Hey, whenever I create a custom error page it never shows when I goto a page it just does the default windows one any ideas?

how large is the custom html file? If its not larger then a certain amount (10k) it wont show up and will default to the windows one.

I don't know where you got 10k from... (if cpanel says it, its plain wrong.)

The smallest that will show up in MSIE is 512 bytes.

from cpanel:
Custom Error Pages

You can create customized error pages, so when a user types in the wrong url, or enters the incorrect information, so you can have nice looking error pages instead of plain old ones.
Note: Custom Error pages smaller then 10k will not appear in Internet Explorer®

I'm assuming this has more to do with the way cpanel works then IE

Is it possible for all of my sites to use my error pages? and removed that option from cPanel????
