in reply to cgi and css, body tag not recognize

Check the HTML source that the CGI script produced.

Does it contain the correct reference to the CSS file?

Can you manually access that CSS file manually with that given URL?

    HTML and CSS are correct according to the W3C validators.
    Yes, other CSS classes work fine, just the BODY is problematic.
      Try a background-color: #0e7aef !important; once (and write body in lower case, just in case you ever want to switch to xhtml), to rule out some interference with other declarations.

      And an URL to the problematic page might be helpfull so that we can see for ourselves.

      BTW which browser are you using? For development you should be using a standards compliant one (opera, firefox), not IE ;-)
