Hi all,
I have noticed that the background color of an XML document cannot be
set properly using CSS (that is, you cannot define styles for the BODY
element of an XHTML document).
I have an example of this: www.houseofnerds.com/mathml_test.xml
Because I am trying to display MathML embedded in the page, I need to
use XML, so I cannot convert this to HTML via XSLT.
The above page renders fine in IE (ignore the giberrish that appears if
you do not have a MathML display plug-in. The important thing is that
it displays the background color as green) However, in Firefox (and I
assume Mozilla and Netscape), the background color is ignored, and it
is white??
Is there any way to acheive a different background color in both
browsers using XML + CSS?? Any other suggestions?? 2 6275

I've no experience in xml/xhtml/xls but:
First of all, your page throws multiple errors when validating
( http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...thml_test.xml),
maybe you should solve these first.
Second: put a border around the body, this will show you that the main
content is outside the body.
If you remove the xml stylesheet (I can't see what it does anyway),
the css takes effect in FF: the line containing "MathML Test Page" has
a green background (this _is_ the body).
You might consider applying a background to html instead:
html{ background-color: #c8ffc8;}
Hope this is of any use to you.

....would not know how to solve this. I ripped off the code from

it may render that way, but I still don't understand why. After all,
the main content is clearly inside the body in the source file. Let's
blame this on XML again :)

Thank u Bart, you have been a great help. The above worked for me.
One day I will get around to figuring out XML and XSL, but I find it
irritating that
such a seemingly simple task I thought would take a couple of hours
would take three days :P
thanks again

is there a standard file format that encapsulates some xml data and a
stylesheet with which to display it in one file? ...and which doesn't
require an internet connection. of course xml lets you reference a
remote stylesheet with a url, but I'm looking for something that
actually stores the stylesheet WITH the xml.
any ideas?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
