[thelist] Redefine body tag - not working?

Hi everyone.

I'm struggling with CSS.  There must be a 12 step program for people like
me.

Anyway.  I have some automatically generated HTML files (from ReportMagic,
actually) that link to external stylesheets.

The problem I'm having is when I try to alter the background color of the
body element, it never works.  Completely ignores it, actually.  Here's the
(basic) CSS code:

body { margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;
background-color: #C20000; }

And the body tag in the html is just: <body>

What am I doing wrong?

HUGE tia,

Chris.

No, not a huge transient ischemic attack.
