I know that it isn't particularly good form to affect an elements style directly through the style attribute and instead you should go through a <style> element or an external stylesheet. However, I'm trying to do some quick mockup testing and I'm coming to a spot where I need one element in particular to have a border whenever it is "active".

Normally, I'd do a:

a:active{
   border: red;
}

or something, but I want to test it only in the element. Is there a way to use the "active" selector from within the element's style such as:

<!-- This syntax probably doesn't work -->
<a href="#" style="active:border: red"></a>

or do I just need to bite the bullet and make a <style> for it?
