background-color specified for BODY or HTML does not seem to work;
the background colour remains white even if this property is set
in a style sheet.

  hi, I can't reproduce this either. anyway, it's seems odd enough that
  I'd bet there is a misconfiguration somewhere.

  please check if you can reproduce with konqueror 3.2.

  thanks,

Hi,

I tried with Konquerer 3.2.2 with the following web page:

http://www.cccgt.org/F_P_2004_Woodbine.html

The content of the page (in a frame) shows up with a white background
in Konqueror, but shows up as green in both Mozilla and IE.

(The frame in question sets the background-color for both HTML and BODY.)

Best regards,
Ambrose

  hi Ambrose,

  for the record, the page inside the frame is:

http://www.cccgt.org/2004/Woodbine/directions.html

  the real problem here is that the alternate stylesheet test.css does
  not have a title element:

    <link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media=screen
          href="../../test.css">

  which is, as per the relevant W3C specification [1] and AIUI, not a
  valid scenario for an alternate stylesheet:

      [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/present/styles.html#h-14.3.2

      Specify that the style sheet is persistent, preferred, or alternate:

        - To make a style sheet persistent, set the rel attribute to
          "stylesheet" and don't set the title attribute.

        - To make a style sheet preferred, set the rel attribute to
          "stylesheet" and name the style sheet with the title
          attribute.

        - To specify an alternate style sheet, set the rel attribute to
          "alternate stylesheet" and name the style sheet with the title
          attribute.

  the user fix for this is to specify a title="foo" element in the
  alternate stylesheet link tag, like this:

    <link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media=screen
          href="../../test.css" title="test stylesheet">

  however, as seems reasonable to handle the missing title element
  gracefully, and other browsers certainly do so, I'm forwarding this to
  upstream developers to see what they think.
