    Custom Error Pages in Web.Config

    Hello

    I have set up the custom error section in my web.config file. I create a link on my webpage called <a href="page-doesnt-exist.aspx">lin k</a> and when I click on it, my page404.aspx?as pxerrorpath=pag e-doesnt-exist.aspx is shown!

    Brilliant!!

    However, if I look for <a href="page.pdf" >pdf link</a> and page.pdf doesn't exist on the server, it takes the browser almost 1 minute to get to the 404 page. Not only that, it also doesn't render the page correctly (it can't find the relative paths at a guess). Lastly, the URL doesn't change but still displays a CSS-less version of the 404page.aspx

    I was under the impression a 404 page is for page not found and file not found? Is there something I've missed or should my 404page only use absolute links. If so, how do I set this up as the page uses the web.config for the pages theme.

    Thanks
