From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523 BuildID: 2002052306 Hello, I hope I don't post a bug which is already known, I didn't find it already, but who know. If I create a XHTML Page (W3C validated) which is using the *.XHTML ending (to prevent, that the browser use the HTML interpreter), the CSS background color tag background-color doesn't work correctly, the background is only filled in used part of the screen for example a page which is only filled half with text, has in the text region (and left and right of it) the correct defined background color, but outside of this region only the standard background color. I didn't found a workaround so a fix would be helpful ;-) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a valid XHTML document with xhtml ending, use as forced style sheets for background definition. Actual Results: The background is only filled in "used" regions. It's the same result if you use background graphics Expected Results: Filling the complete screen background foo.css ______________________________________________________________________ body { color:#FF0000; background-color:#00FF00; } ______________________________________________________________________ foo.xhtml ______________________________________________________________________ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de" lang="de"> <head> <title>Title</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" /> <!-- As there are many deprecated commands and attributes, CSS ist used for format operations/--> <link rel="stylesheet" href="foo.css" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div> Here is color, and nowhere else </div> </body> </html>
This is correct rendering for XHTML. The root element is <html>, not <body>. It sounds like you want to set the background on <html>. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html#q2: The background of the box generated by the root element covers the entire canvas. For HTML documents, however, we recommend that authors specify the background for the BODY element rather than the HTML element. User agents should observe the following precedence rules to fill in the background: if the value of the 'background' property for the HTML element is different from 'transparent' then use it, else use the value of the 'background' property for the BODY element. If the resulting value is 'transparent', the rendering is undefined. In other words, for HTML documents the <body> background is propagated to the canvas. For XHTML it is not, correctly.
