Every other browser like Firefox and I.E will show the background fine, but Chrome will show no background, or simple plane white color. While I used built in Element Inspect tool in Chrome, I see there it has applied blank background. I searched the Web, and found many fixes, but this is what worked for me:

Simple add to your CSS stylesheet this line:

html{ height: 100%;}

Also you may replace your Body tag, with Html,Body i.e.
Body
{some css here}

will become
Html,Body
{same CSS here.}

Hope this saves you some time and solve your problem.
