I'm just doing my error pages at the moment, but I can't get the background or text colours to work..
I assume I need to allow the background file in the htaccess file, but I can't find out how to do that on Google.
The text colours I have absolutely no idea about..

Help me OcUK! Thanks in advance.

Edit: If I can get the background working I'll be able to get the rest of the template working = woot! Link to current plain and boring 404 error. :/

not sure what your trying to do, but it's just a normal page, no need for allowing background files in .htaccess

I'm trying to get a background image on the error page rather than the plain white background.

you'd put the back ground image in the same way as any other page

Although, thinking about it I might aswell just take the tamplate from my index and strip it down a bit.

Yeah just do that!
