background-color oddity with XHTML 1.0 Transitional?

Sent by Rick Flower on 15 January 2005 06:06


I'm hoping that someone can clue me in on why the website listed below 
(a tutorial site) has a solid grey background when the doctype is listed 
as HTML 4.01 Transitional, but when switched over to XHTML 1.0 
Transitional (on my own server) it only has the grey background on the 
areas that actually have content -- meaning about the first 1-2" on the 
top of the page.. The rest of the page is white.. Is there a way to get 
the background color over the entire page instead of the just the area 
that has content and still have XHTML 1.0 Transitional?

Below is the CSS in question :

body {
    margin: 0pt;
    padding: 0pt;
    font: 85% arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    text-align: center;
    color:  #505367;
    background-color: #D6D6D6;
}
