I did a few test and found that you can use just simple type selectors
also. This CSS,
body { background: lime; }
will override this.
<body bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
Indeed, and it works more widely, since there are still essential
limitations in support to attribute selectors. In particular, if the
document triggers Quirks Mode, attribute selectors won't work on IE even in
version 8.
Note that to override all bgcolor attributes set in HTML markup, you would
set
* { background: lime; }
i.e. use the universal selector "*" instead of the element selector "body",
since table cells may have bgcolor attributes too.
