I set the bg of html to a color but it seems that its not working. I've included my html and css to show the problem.
html {height:100%; background-color:#e2e2e2;}

Remove
CSS Document */
from the CSS file. This is breaking the parsing of your file. A proper comment begins with /* and ends with */

in you head of your css put like this
@charset "utf-8"; html, body{ height:100%; background-color:#e2e2e2;z-index:999; } delete the CSS Document */

Ah I'm blind! Thanks!
You need RESET html elements before you do styling:
/* =RESET :Eric Meyer Reset Reloaded (http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded/) ---------------------------------------- */ html,body,div,span,applet,object,iframe, h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,p,blockquote,pre, a,abbr,acronym,address,big,cite,code, del,dfn,em,font,img,ins,kbd,q,s,samp, small,strike,strong,sub,sup,tt,var, dl,dt,dd,ol,ul,li, fieldset,form,label,legend, table,caption,tbody,tfoot,thead,tr,th,td{margin:0;padding:0;border:0;outline:0;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-size:100%;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;} :focus{outline:0;} body{line-height:1;color:black;background:white;} ol,ul{list-style:none;} table{border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0;} caption,th,td{text-align:left;font-weight:normal;} blockquote:before,blockquote:after, q:before,q:after{content:"";} blockquote,q{quotes:"" "";} /* html 5 Specific */ article,aside,canvas,details,div,figcaption,figure, footer,header,hgroup,menu,nav,section,summary, time,mark,audio,video{margin:0;padding:0;border:0;outline:0;font-size:100%;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;} article,aside,canvas,details,figcaption,figure, footer,header,hgroup,menu,nav,section,summary, time,mark,audio,video{margin:0;padding:0;border:0;outline:0;font-size:100%;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;} article,aside,canvas,details,figcaption,figure, footer,header,hgroup,menu,nav,section,summary{display:block;} /* www.aestheticallyloyal.com/public/optimize-legibility/ */ body { text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; } /* maxvoltar.com/archive/-webkit-font-smoothing */ html { -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; } Paste style above to the top of your stylesheet or import it in HTML with<link href="reset.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Then you will see the background color change.
