I need to use
No, you don't, you just want, and you should stop wanting.
an inline css tag
There are no css tags, inline or otherwise.
for a few links that will not behave
like the a:link and a:hover attributes in my stylesheet.
They are pseudo-classes, not attributes. Using consistently wrong terms
indicates that you haven't read good books or tutorials on CSS. There is
little hope of success with style sheets before you take some time to learn
the basics. Surely you can do a casual move in styling here and there
without understanding much (getting started with CSS is _very_ easy in a
sense), but you are past that when you want to style links.
I want to
add a special link color with underline and a mouseover a:hover
attribute to eliminate an underline when underlined to a series of
links .
Special link colors are just confusing. For usability, you need minimally
three colors for links in their different states, and naturally all these
must be clearly distinct from each other and from text color, and not too
far from typical default link colors. That's difficult enough. No reason to
make it more difficult by using "color coding" for special links. Use some
other properties for special links (bolding, different font, borders,
whatever).
Once you've decided on that, and once you've studied the basics of CSS (and
I don't mean foolish tutorials that start telling you how to remove
underlining of links and how to set font size in points), this will be
smooth sailing, like
<ul class="special"><li><a href="...">...</a></li>...</ul>
with
..special a { font-variant: small-caps; }
..special a:hover { text-decoration: none; }
Wondering how possible putting an inline style such as this
to <a hreftag
It's not possible.
