Description
jQuery Version: 1.6.2 / latest from CDN
Browser Version: Opera 11.50
Consider the following code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Some Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
html {
background: #ccc;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is some text. Blah blah blah.</p>
</body>
</html>
Expected Behavior: Background would be grey.
Observed Behavior: Background is white.
You can also test this with XHTML 1.0 Strict like so:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
html {
background: #ccc;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is some text.</p>
</body>
</html>

I am not seeing this behavior in Opera 11.50. This was a problem with jQuery 1.6.1, but the background is gray for me in 1.6.2. Also, I recommend putting jQuery (and all javascript in the future) at the bottom of the body for better performance. The page is blocked until jQuery is loaded so it took a few seconds for it to get to the background color.
