inline or not inline?

Just working a massive site and its got a very large CSS page. I'm finding that I need to tinking with a few different things on certain elements. Do you think its best to put this tinkering inline (style="") or create a new style in the CSS page? I never use more than 4 inline styles as the tags can get quite large but was just wondering if this is a go or bad idea using inline like this.

Externalise and use classes or some other cascading, hierarchical method of addressing the specific element(s).
Inline css is the devil's handiwork.

I find it's always best long term to make a seperate style. While places them inline can seem easier, going back to change them later is much less hassle if their in an extrenal stylesheet.

That's just me though.

Agreed. Make a new class, then let things cascade down to the element you're working on. If nothing else, make a new id. Inline = very, very bad. I should never do it. But I do. *oops*
