is there a hack for IE so it will not apply the background-color?
something like b\ackground-color: #000 ?You shouldnt use "hacks" that rely on bugs in IE or any other browser. Use conditional comments instead to apply a different style sheet to IE only.

Main reason you shouldnt use them is because youre code should be forward compatable with IE7i know this way.
but i dont want to use it!
i just want to "eliminate" this background-color.
like using w\idthIf I understand you right, you want the background color to be different in interent explorer.
Embed your style sheets like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"style.css" />
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"style_ie.css" />
<![endif]-->
Your style.css will contain:
background-color: #FF0000; /*Make the background red*/
Your style_ie.css file will contain:
background-color: #00FF00; /*Make the background green in internet explorer only*/Try the !important hack.
background-color: #000 !important;
background-color: transparent;thats not what i want... u give me solutions i allready know but dont want to use.

Just use this.

It is much better to do it with IE conditional statements.

The IE_7_beta version doesn't understand it, but according to this excerpt, the full-release (this Fall??), will understand it.

The good news today is that the IE team has in fact fixed the way IE handles !important in all future builds beyond the IE7 Beta 2 Preview.
So worry not, my important friends, we'll soon have an IE that understands just how important !important is.
But conditional statements work and work reliably, so maybe just use that.
There you go. Looks like the conditionals have it.
