Don't do that! –deceze Nov 19 '12 at 14:27 its an user-centric feature –Daniel A.

Unfortunately for developers that means that useful information or a nicer implementation gets shielded from the user. Jeff Atwood has a decent writeup about 404 pages. One of his suggestions is : You have to make your customized 404 page larger than 512 bytes, otherwise IE will assume it's a standard web server 404 message and replace it with its own friendly-ized version. So try making your 404 page more than 512 bytes and see if it is then shown to the user. share|improve this answer answered Nov 19 '12 at 14:32 John Koerner 25.3k64279 Thanks its working now –Raju Nov 19 '12 at 15:13 1 @Raju Then,
