If I'm not mistaken you could use bgcolor as you have in your body tag. That attribute is usually deprecated but I think in XSLT it is acceptable. Say you wanted to change the background color of the title, I think you can do this...

Code: Select all

<tr><td bgcolor="red"><xsl:value-of select="TITLE" /></td>

Try it out and post back letting us know if it worked for you.
