how to create inline style with :before and :after

Question

I generated a bubble chat thingy from http://www.ilikepixels.co.uk/drop/bubbler/

In my page I put a number inside of it

.bubble {
  position: relative;
          


        

Answer 1

You can't. With inline styles you are targeting the element directly. You can't use other selectors there.

What you can do however is define different classes in your stylesheet that define different colours and then add the class to the element.
