Quite embarrassing considering folks like apple.com are guilty of this. At least it's an easy fix if we just pay attention to the little details. Plus, who really sets their browser's default bgcolor to anything but white anyway?

In any event, it really should be part of our so-called "best practices" regardless if you think this is a big deal or not. Read more back + forth here.

Underwear showing (web design)
Websites that forgot to specify a background color.

It's surprising how many web designers forget to specify a background color. To check for this, set your browser's default background color to magenta, or something equally piquant. Then visit websites. You may be surprised.
