404 error page inside folder

    I have written code for 404 error (404.htm) and it works fine untill you are in folder pages.

    for instance it works fine with www mydomain . com but not in www mydomain . com /folder/filename

    The format of the pages changes in that the images do not show up and the CSS doesn't work.

    Let me know when I need to do to make the 404.htm page look same no matter where I'm on my site.

    maybe you need to use root reletive links in your html
    eg
    not
    <img src="../../images/somepic.gif">
    use
    <img src="/images/somepic.gif">

    <Base href="http://www.yoursite.co.uk">

    Not if all your links to images and the css are root relative.
