How can I bloat me web page?!

[bluntknife]

Hiya all,

I'm trying to get this [http://www.webdesignforums.net/thread6954.html]to work.

It works when I go to process.php - However, it does not work as a 404 page, and when i looked back through cPanel i think i found out why:

"Custom Error pages smaller then 10k will not appear in Internet Explorer(R)"

Firstly, is this true?

Secondly, does anyone know how I can make a 1kb script into a 10k one? I've tried adding a fancy HTML front to it, but I can't seem to get the size to go up past 3kb!

Damned file sizes - when you want them small they're huge, and when you want them huge they're small!

Cheers
Ollie

I don't see how the custom error filesize would matter at all, let alone in IE only; the processing is done on the server, so the browser should not matter. What happens when you go to a page that doesn't exist? What shows up?

This happens:

Not Found
The requested URL /steve was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Paste your .htaccess here, and I'll look at it.

That's weird that it has to be atleast 10kb. You could insert a large <!--html comment --> to try to beef up the size.

hmm... ok something's wrong with cPanel - checking my HTAccess file it doesn't have the Error 404 code in it... never mind.

I'll let you know how it goes.
