U can change messages like 404, displaying another page u like, ON
SERVER SIDE, using IIS for example. NOT on CLIENT side.

I very much doubt it, at least with a basic web page -- it's the browser
that recieves the 404 response, not the referring page.

It may be possible to do something with JS if you're using frames, i.e.,
if one frame's content changes and comes to hold a 404 page, JS in
another frame may be able to pick up on that and load a different page
into the 404 frame. However this would require (a.) for JS in one frame
to pick up on whatever the new page event is in another frame, and (b.)
be able to access the HTTP header info (which would contain the 404
code). I don't know if either one is possible.
