Google Toolbar and 404 pages
Quick question...I set up a redirect on my server to send any typos or 404's back to the main page. BUT...it looks like the google toolbar grabs those 404's instead and sends anyone with it installed to a "oops this page appears to be broken" 404 page instead of where I wanted it to go.
After seeing that, it occurred to me that God only knows what other toolbars that so many people have installed are doing to 404's. The alexa toolbar, google, icq, etc., etc. Does anyone have a fix for that since the google toolbar is ignoring my servers commands? |

It appears that you don't have your "servers commands" setup correctly.
make sure you have this in your .htaccess file correctly... ErrorDocument 404 /page_name.htm

I would recommend if you are going to send them to the main page, you append a meaningless tracking tidbit to the end so you can see how many 404's you get in your server stats.
ErrorDocument 404 /?404 As for your actual question, I honestly don't know.

you should try loading your site on Firefox or Seamonkey and check it out there as well just to show that it is not the google toolbar

My ISP recently started taking over 404's for any site without explicit errordocs setup... smart, and sneaky.
