If you want your bg to be white, set it to white! Dont just leave the code out... < body bgcolor="#ffffff" > minus the spaces. Is that so freaking hard!?!?!? Haha, people like me who customize settings and color schemes dont see your bg as white. IE sets it to white as default, but when customized we dont see it as that, we see it as the color we made it... Just thought Id throw this out because I see so many sites like this.

My Tip O' the Day!

good one man, never thought it like that way, never set anything when I make a white bg

One of my peeves is not having image width and height not set. Resulting in the page not showing anything till all images are downloaded.

Pages do load without width and height attributes, but the images dont size until they are loaded. Which means if your site layout is dependent on images, cells stay 1 pixel until the image loads. If you specify all the width/height attributes then it sizes the image space to the proper size and just waits for it to load, looks much nicer.

Also, the default color background on some OS/Browsers is grey not white. So even if someone didn't change the settings they will still get a nonwhite background.

But then sometimes not setting image width/height can have definite uses. Same can't be said for the background thing though. It's always amazed me that so many people don't set the background.
