I cannot figure out where the bug is in this code. I'm trying to change the background color to anything using the following css:
body {
background-color: black;
padding: 0px;
margin:0px;
height: 1500px;
}
But its not changing anything except shifting the navbar down a few rows for some reason. Why is this happening and why can't I change the background color?
