Can anyone help me to understand why the background-color is missing with application/xhtml+xml but is present with the exact same xhtml and css served as text/html?In html the body element is 'magical' in that it fills the viewport (aka browser window) even when there isn't enough content to do so. In xml that is not true. In xml the html element as the root element gets this 'honor'. Changing your body style to html, body { ... should fix things right up.
It did, thank you very much!
Keep in mind that in xml there is no forgiveness for errors. The parser just stops and puts up an error message rather than trying to display the page anyway.
