title: IE6: remove inherited background-color CSS
body: <p>An upstream style sheet is setting a background color for <code>a:active</code>. I'd like to undo this background color without specifying a specific color in my style sheet, because the underlying background can be one of many different colors. </p>
  
  <p>For modern browsers I can use <code>background-color:transparent</code> but IE6 doesn't support <code>background-color:transparent</code>. Are there any IE6 workarounds/hacks to undo an inherited background color?  </p>
  
  <p>This is <em>not</em> related to showing a transparent PNG image; it's just regular text I want to show without the inherited background color.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to avoid running javascript for this, so I'm looking for a CSS-only solution if it exists. </p>
