I finally had a chance to try Nick's suggestion.  Using inspector, I was able 
to fix the problem.  I believe that there is a new layer.  The body element had 
the background color that I set, but the new layer was on top and it had a 
white background.  I changed the background color of that layer to solve the 
problem.  I was also able to make many other adjustments to improve the 
appearance thanks to the information I found in inspector -- and I barely 
tapped its capabilities.

Thanks to all for the support and especially to Nick for telling me about 
inspector.

Jeff
