Since she only has one property: value for each rule the semi colon is
actually optional.

The other way to make sure you're getting *black* is to use the keyword
black instead of numbers. Black can be any /one/ of these values:
	background: black; (note the semi colons are optional for single
	property/value rules)
	background: #000; (Short form for "hex" values. # is required!)
	background: #000000; ("html" format for hex, # still required)
	background: rgb(0,0,0); (counting from 0-255)
	background: rgb(0%, 0%, 0%); (counting from 0-100% saturation)

"background" the property name can also be written "background-color."
Either are acceptable if only the background color is being defined.
For more information about each of the background properties see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#background-color

For more information on units of color see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#color-units

Hope that helps.
