The "background-color" property specified in <body> should inherit to the <div>'s, but it does not. (the background-color stays transparent, but should be white, as inherited). Explicitly giving the information to divs, of course, "corrects" the problem, but seen strictly, this can only be viewn as a workaround. Note: This is _not_ a duplicate of 238400. 238400 complains about the rendering/not rendering of the background color. This report is about not inheriting it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

According to the spec the behavior of Mozilla is correct, see: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/colors.html#background-properties 'background-color' Value: <color> | transparent | inherit Initial: transparent Applies to: all elements Inherited: no <---------------------------- Percentages: N/A Media: visual Computed value: as specified
