[Tip] Create a 404 Not Found Page

[Mick]

Here's mine, it's very much like yours.

That's great Ken., looks good!

I can't stop adding to it... go back in a day or so and it will likely be three pages long.

Umm... not seeing the problem, here's my code:

Code Select Expand

<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="0" align="" width="100%" summary="">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/MGalleryItem.php?id=7" alt="Page Not Found" /></td>
            <td style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left"> <br />
            <font size="3"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Wow you found our 404 Error Page!!! </span></font><br /><br />

I've been looking for this page ever since i first created it way back in the spring of 2010!  <img src="http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/Smileys/default/08.gif" alt="Big Grin" /><br />

Sadly, even though you found this page, I seem to have also misplaced the page you were looking for.<br /><br />

You may have stumbled into this 404 "Not found" page on Our FamilyForum for a variety of reasons:<br />

    * A mistyped URL, or a copy-and-paste mistake<br />
    * Broken or truncated links on web pages or in an email message<br />
    * Moved or deleted content<br /><br />
You can click on one of the buttons at the top of this page, or...<br />
Try this link, it should take you to our Home page: <a href="http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php">www.ourfamilyforum.org</a></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var GOOG_FIXURL_LANG = 'en';
  var GOOG_FIXURL_SITE = 'http://www.ourfamilyforum.org'
</script> <script type="text/javascript"

</script></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Ken,

Well, you definitely have one too many closing td tags.  The second one from the bottom is probably the culprit ...

Ken, the footer from the 404 page looks different than the forum or front page.

Removing the td tag didn't seem to change anything.

Ken,

The actual code in the article works fine on my site ...

I don't see anything like this on your site though.  I only see the header and the footer, nothing in between.

It looks like it broke your footer too.

[ZarPrime]

Hmmm, yep, you're right, it sure do, don't it. :buck2: Definitely some bad code.  I'll take a look at it here a little later if you guys don't figure it out.
