Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

When using content type "text/xml", "application/xml" or "application/xhtml+xml"
will cause the following code not to display properly.

body {
 background-color: black;
 color: white;
}

or <body bgcolor="#000000">

or using inline style attributes (<body style="background-color: black;">)

but the weird thing is the elements other than "body" will work okay.

For example, inheritance:

<div style="background-color: inherit">

while you have "body {background-color: black; color: white;}" will actually
cause the <div> element to display a black background with white text.

The problem is, in fewer, less confusing words:

The background color of the document body will not change to any color, it will
remain white unless using the content type "text/html".

I tested this same document in Opera 7.54 Build 3869, and it supports the
display of the body's background color using the above content types.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a XHTML document using "text/xml", "application/xml" or
"application/xhtml+xml" as the content type.
2. Set the CSS "background-color" property to any color other than white for the
document's body (a.k.a. <body>).
3. Load document.
Actual Results:  
The background color of choise is not shown at all.

Expected Results:  
What ever makes it work using the content type "text/html" should be applied to
XHTML documents using the "text/xml", "application/xml" and
"application/xhtml+xml" content types.
This is not FF specific, so one Browser bug is enough.

You're right, it's not.

But, seeing as how they had one area for the Mozilla suite and one for Firefox,
then I filed two seperate, but identical bugs for each program.

Maybe they should just have one called "Code Base" for "every" Mozilla-based Web
user agent, this way I won't have to file a duplicate bug for "two" different
pieces of software.

Maybe I will suggest that, it might actually work.

Note: For any future readers of this bug, I would suggest making all comments on
bug#: 269185, seeing as how the discussion has already began.
