Exclude certain attributes

I have one style sheet for an entire website. I want to include the sheet on all pages, but one page in particular I don't want to have a background color (the background color is set in body tag of css file). If it helps for understanding...the page I am referring to needs to essentially be transparent (except text) because of the background image on the page below.

Is there a way to include a stylesheet, but *exclude* certain tags? I tried adding 'style="background-color: "' to the body tag in hopes it would override the stylesheet, but it didn't work.

Thanks

Your best bet would be to "overwrite" the style in the one page you don't want it. Using an inline style should work. If you leave the declaration empty (you are using '') then the browser will likely read it as an error and ignore it. I think you want to use a transparent background...Try using

Code:

<body style="background-color:transparent;" ...>
