[Javascript] Color Coded Conundrum

[Ben Ocean]

Hi;
I have the following line of code:

<font style="font: 13px antique olive, arial; color: white" 
onMouseOver="javascript:this.style.color='black'" 
onMouseOut="javascript:this.style.color='white'">Home</font>

I can't get the color to change with mouse actions. What gives?
TIA,
BenO
