title: How can I override the * selector for CSS to change my body's background colour?
body: <p>I'm trying to use a container <code>div</code> to house my webpage, and make its background white. However, behind that container I want to make the background black. How can I do this? When I use *, it makes the entire page black, which I do not want.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Hello World&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
