[squid-users] custom error pages with stylesheets doesn't work for me

You might actually be in the wrong directory, I wouldnt be surprised if 
this was the case, particularly if you are using a debian or ubuntu box.

Heres a hint.  You need to be editing the following default document 
instead...

/usr/share/squid-langpack/templates/ERR_ACCESS_DENIED

And make sure your css is within your style tag.

<style>.someclass{background:#000;}</style>

And make sure you place this css inside the tag <head></head>
