Change text color on mouse over using the style tag

Question

Using CSS it's easy to apply a custom color to a link when you hover over it using:

.myId:hover{
    color:green;
}

But what about the style tag? It is possible to do something along the lines of:

<a style="*insert nifty markup here to change color on hover*" href="somewhere.html">text</a>

Or is changing the hover color only possible trough the first method (using only html/css, no javascript allowed).

Answer 1

You cannot and should not do this. Give it a class or id, and a stylesheet.
