RE: Friendly error messages from Microsoft get in the way (was Error pages defined in web.xml not found / activated)
You can turn this off in the IE (Idiotic Explorer) advanced options. -Original Message- From: Frank Eggink [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 3:56 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Friendly error messages from Microsoft get in the way (was Error pages defined in web.xml not found / activated) Well ... How can you spend your weekend?!? The problem I described looks to be caused by wat's called 'friendly error messages' from the Internet Explorer. All runs fine with Netscape. Microsoft replaces standard 404 'can not find page' errors with their own page, which is considered (by them) to be more user friendly. Still I do not understand how the Explorer gets the information there is a 404 error. Could this be somewhat less wanted feature of Orion? I certainly would like to have control over this error message. FE On Friday, March 30, 2001 5:48 PM, Frank Eggink [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: Hi, I'm having a problem.
