As the topic says, you still haven't set background colour to white. Not everyone (e.g. me) has a white background colour. So on my (not only) system the main page looks ridiculous in some places... ;) No offense... :D Aloha, Uli ID: 72216 ·  |

Have you actually looked at the CSS stylesheet located here? I see the following: body , table , input , select { background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans Serif; font-size: 12px; } body { background-color: white; color: black; } I am kind of new to CSS but it looks to me like the background color is indeed set to white. If I am missing something, please tell me and I might be able to poke some people :) A member of The Knights Who Say NI!

Nobody hears, what i'm saying, cause nobody understands, what i'm talking about. Not everybody has The standard values that comes with the application, regardless of Internet Exploder, Firefox (my favourite), Netscape, Opera or something else... The default is white, but if someone (like me) is setting that to another colour the site looks ridiculous. POINT Aloha, Uli ID: 72233 · |

-->Nobody hears,what i'm saying, thats not true, but the wrong person are watching you typing;-) Thanks Uli! your posting could close an open question I'm having at an other place. Haven't included the white.css so far, it works propper 4me. Sure it does with an standard environment! So if my understanding (with you help Danke) is right, it's mandatory to include the css to secure the identical apperance/Erscheinung for "non standard" environment like a nonIE browser or with "non standard" background colors. tks again! grz ric ID: 72240 · |

The standard is white. But if someone ( like the disturbing me ;) ) has set the default background to another colour, that (the private set colour) is used instead of white. If the site administrator whishes to use white, he (or she) has to set it explicitely in the body tag or in the corresponding .css file. I don't know if the tag <background-color: white> is sufficient, cause i always use <body style="background-color:#FFFFFF" > for that. Aloha, Uli ID: 72246 · |

Even if the body, table, blah, blah, blah says "background-color: white;", the td.* are clear: th{ background-color: [b]#c8c8c8[/b];}
td.bordered { border: 1px solid grey;}
td.indent{ border-left: 4px solid white;}
td.heading{ background-color: [b]#c8c8c8;[/b]}...and so forth. Child element styles trump parent element styles whenever the childrens' attributes are defined. Child elements inherit (cascade) from parents where undefined.Read more: W3C's CSS spec, chap. 6 ("Assigning property values, Cascading, and Inheritance"). ID: 72262 · |

http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/stylesheet.css does not specify any "background-color:" nor does it have a <body bgcolor="">. I think it's your browser. ID: 72303 · |

Aha! I guess this should have been obvious since you have been saying that the front page is the only one that shows up weird... But the front page doesn't use the same stylesheet as the rest of the site which seems a bit odd to me. The copy/paste in my previous post was from the stylesheet the rest of the site uses. I DO understand what the problem is and in fact I just changed my browser's default background color to see what it looks like. It is horrible with hot pink as the background color! :) I agree that it should be "propper" even if it DOES show up right on 90% of the screens out there... Will se what I can do.

The front page is a separate CSS (dunno why). I figured that if there wasn't a specification in the CSS or in the markup, then it must have been a browser-level decision. Again, once I get my own act together... ID: 72452 · |
