Is it possible to have more then one style to an HTML hyperlink. If it is possible: why does example 1 work, but example 2 not work?

Example 1.

<a href="http://www.webmaster-talk.com/" style="color: #CC0000">change hyperlink color</a>

Example 2.

 <a href="http://www.webmaster-talk.com/" style="color: #CC0000" style="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px solid #999999">change hyperlink color</a>

Thanks for any help in advance.

Firefox only reads one style tag. (Example 2 does work with IE.)

So if you want to have more then one style to a hyperlink, just write something like this:

<a href="http://www.webmaster-talk.com/" style="color: #CC0000; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px solid #999999;">change hyperlink color</a>

(Or use a separate css-file.)

Perfect! Thank you!!!

for SEO i would put the CSS in a seperate file - makes the coding a bit simpler

And that has NOTHING to do with SEO.
