Custom 404 error page with same URL

Question

How would one go about enabling a custom 404 page on a 404 request, while retaining the same URL in the address bar instead of it looking something along the lines of http://yourwebsite.com/error.html.

Answer 1

Just add the following line to your htaccess file in your root web directory:

ErrorDocument 404 /404page.html

Then make 404page.html contain whatever text you wish to display to the user.
