Unhappy CSS Background Colors

Hi.

I am using a website host that provides a standard template within which I add my own html. I don't mind the template, but the background colors are disgusting. I have managed to override the font-family used in the templates through CSS (I'm very proud), but I cannot override the background colors on the template.

Here is where I'm coming unstuck:

My friends at the web hoster also use CSS. And they have created a class that governs the background color of the Site. When I try to override the class name (i.e. I treat the name of the CSS class as though it was just another html thingy that I can boss around) nothing happens! The shame, the indignity!

So now, here I am, asking for help. Please, anyone. Anyone?

Well, in the head section of the page, just put this:

Code:
<script type="text/css">
body {
     background-color: color;
}
</script>

Change color to a color you want.

If that doesn't work, try this:

body { background: #color !important; }

Note that "background: ;" is a "shorthand property" that combines background-color, background-image, background-position, and background-repeat into a single line:

background: #Color | url("image") | repeat | position | fixed/static;

Helpful CSS Site

Take a look at this site: http://www.w3schools.com/css/
it has all the properties, description, values and what browsers that property is compatable with.
Very Helpful.
