How do I get the background colour to work on other browsers?

I'm making my first website with html and it works on Internet Explorer but when I try it on Firefox the background colour doesn't work. How do I fix that?

Update:

I used a style sheet but I put the colour on the normal pages because I didn't klnow how to put it on the style sheet. Is that why it doesn't show up in firefox?

    Use CSS with your HTML http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

    Placing this in the head of your webpage should work:

    <style type="text/css">

    body {background-color: #hexhere; }

    </style>

    <html>

    <head>

    <style>

    div.bgblack

    {

    background : #000 ;

    }

    .bgblack p

    {

    color : #fff ;

    }

    </style>

    </head>

    <body>

    <div class="bgblack">

    <p>The background is black</p>

    </div>

    </body>

    That will display background black and text white for everything within div tags of class bgblack.
