Hi,
maybe you guys know something I don't know...

Is it possible (and how) to achieve the following:

1) A <BODY> with specific background-color, say blue.

2) A <DIV class='main'> (which contains the main content text of the page)
with no colors assigned at all.

The idea is that the 'main' class would be presented to the reader with the
browser's default color sheme. This is usually black on white but could be
anything. I'd like to grant the reader the freedom to select their own
colors for the content of the page, so I don't want to set it to
black/white explicitly in my style sheet. I would still like to play a
little with colors on the rest of the page, i.e. menus, title bar, footer,
space between these elements.

Problem is: If I don't set colors for the 'main' class, the background-
color of body shines through or is inherited.

Any ideas?
