Re: Custom error page for WEB BROWSER

["Rob Iles" <rob.iles@xxxxxxxxx>]

Keith, does the solution have to work in both Firefox and IE, or are
you
able to lock the client down to one particular browser?

If you can lock it down to Firefox, then *maybe* a custom theme would do
the
job.

when FF can't find a server, it displays a page  "NetError.css"  
(to check
this, browse to  http://thisisatotallyfalsewebsite:99
- - you'll get the
familiar page. view page info, and you'll find it's called neterror.css).

I haven't been able to locate this file on the local file system, but
googling it returns thousands of links to Themes. Suggesting that you can
customise this page in a custom Theme.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:2
has some info,
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Extensions
has more technical info on
building your own.

Hope this helps!

Rob
