HTML advanced question
A friend of mine is trying to get a Tottenham Hotspurs fansite up and running. He also made a custom 404.htm file (which appears each time a non-existing page is requested). When that page appears, in the address bar it gets like this:
/404.htm?404;theinvalidfile.html
What I want to know is how can I make the second argument (theinvalidfile.html) appear on the website? I consider myself an expert on HTML, but I have never seen anything like this...
PS: It's just a regular html page, no php, asp or anything.

The '?' symbol is a seperator between a page path and the params that are sent to the page
Look at the following
Code:
<form>
<input value="Hello World" name=param>
<input type=submit value="Go">
</form>
That will add "?param=Hello+World" to the end of the URL...
You need a form of CGI to take proper use of this though....simple html is not much use here
Try looking at ASP, JSP, PERL, PHP or one of the other CGI favorites

Yeah, I know all of that, but I think it's the server that adds that to the end of the address when it redirects to the 404 page... I never really thought there was a way to use variables in HTML, but I thought this was strange... maybe it's just for the fasion... :D
