293598 - Serving XHTML as application/xhtml+xml breaks background colours

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter Berry]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050416 Fedora/1.0.3-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050507

The page on the given URL has white on black text, specified by test.css in the
same directory. If it is served as text/html this is fine, but if it is served
as application/xhtml+xml, the black background only covers the part of the body
that contains text, not the entire page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://sucs.org/~pwb/test/test.html
2. Compare http://sucs.org/~pwb/test/test.xhtml

Actual Results:  
Most of the background in test.xhtml is white.

Expected Results:  
All of the background should be black.

Confirmed in nightly build 2005050705.

Sorry folks, I misunderstood what the standards say happen here. Apparently that
background-color should be on the html element.
