John,

JavaScript styles and CSS styles are different.

Try "backgroundColor" instead.

However, what you'd like to do is possible through pure
CSS: the trick is setting you're anchor element to
display:block and a width of 100%. Then, change the
Background-color (not backgroundColor) to white.

The bonus is that JavaScript isn't required.
