Background colour issues

    Right, this is driving me nuts, it is a basic problem, but I appear to be unable to see the problem!

    Basically, when I use a .css file to set the background colour of a webpage it doesn't work. When I add the the style in the header using the <style> it works just fine. At first I thought it might be one of the other elements affecting it but even when I remove all the other styles the problem still remains.

    style.css 
    #body
{
background-color:#0000FF;
}

    test.html 
    <html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css"/>
</head>

<body>

<p>This is some text</p>

</body>
</html>

    I'm sure the problem is clear to someone, but alas, I can't see the wood for the trees...
