That isn't going to over-ride the background image style, as it's a
different parameter altogether. I haven't used it before, but would
guess the !important declaration attached to a different style
specifying a one px white/transparent gif would be one way to achieve
this:

body{background-image:url(../images/transparent.gif) !important;
background-color: #fff;}

...and none of this stuff in the body tag, please, just a small
stylesheet in the head of that page ;-)
