<!DOCTYPE> vs. STYLE

Lam asks why the use of a DOCTYPE is stopping a table background from being 
blue.

Lam's style rules:-

table {background-color: "blue"}
p {background-color: rgb(250,0,255)}

The
 CSS for the table properties is invalid.  Change to the following:-

table { background-color: blue; }
