title: Background-color for ul/div element not rendered
body: <p>I am trying to display navigation items (horizontally) in a blue colored ribbon. Somehow, the background-color property is not getting applied to the ul element. I tried to put it inside a div element with background as blue. Still, it doesn't work</p>
  
  <p>Html snippet as,</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div style="background-color:blue;"&gt;
    &lt;ul style="list-style-type:none;background-color:blue;"&gt;
      &lt;li style="float:left;margin-right:10px;"&gt;cassandra&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li style="float:left;margin-right:10px;"&gt;mongodb&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li style="float:left;"&gt;couchdb&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
