Hello,

To answer my own post, here is the answer to my woes:

Internet Explorer (and only Internet Explorer, all versions) will not use your custom error pages if they are not over a set page size (1k I believe). That means that if your error page only consists of one DIV inside the BODY with an error message in it, IE will not use your page but its built-in error page.

The solution then is to either:
- build a more elaborate error page (thus heavier)
- fill your existing page up with blanks like adding lines like that:


<span>          </span>‍‍

at the end of your page.

Hope this will help out somebody else one day.
