The reason for the warning is that the user may have a user stylesheet
saying something like:
a:link { color:#ffffff; background-color:#000000; }
Your style rule would only override part of that, makeing links unreadible.

try
background-color: inherit
or
background-color: transparent
See: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html#propdef-background-color
It looks like you are trying to mix Javascript syntax and CSS, which
won't work.
