What is the best way to treat 404 errors?
1. Am I better off creating a redirect back to the home page and if so what is the best way to do that?
2. Or am I better off customizing a page saying you have reached this page in error?
Not a real fan of number 2
Update: I ended up going with an htaccess redirect - any thoughts? - Last Edit: 17 years 2 months ago by Joe K.

hi joe
i'd go for number 2 and really make your 404 special
put in a 'ooops - you've found this page in error - it's probably our fault because we've moved something. visit the homepage here or search for what you're looking for here'
so link up to the homepage and put in a search option .. - www.c3p0.se - sweden

- At the moment when people go to a non-existent page they just get a white page with the 404 error. I'd like to create something user-friendly as described above, but I don't know how to do it - is it to do with the htaccess? Could someone explain in simple steps how to do this? Thanks.
