how to use pseudo-classes (like after, before) inline in CSS

i'm writing an email template and was told to use only inline css (because of email providers/servers restrictions), but i need to use a :before pseudo-class and not sure how to do so inline. so far the only other way to use it inline is with javascript but unfortunately that's also not an option.

is that even possible?

Solution

  • I think it is not possible.

    Pseudo-classes are a member of the family of selectors, which don't occur in the attribute.

    Using javascript,something like ,,,

    <a href="#" 
   onmouseover = "this.style.color = 'none'"
   onmouseout  = "this.style.color = 'blue'">Hello</a>

    This is inline,but not css.
