Is it posiible to have two CSS font styles on the same row of text? Suppose I should elaborate... lol. I'll show you what I want in straight xhtml format below (as the <font> tag is deprecated I do not want to use it though).

<p><font color="red">Red text. </font color><font color="black">Black text.</font color></p>

This would all appear on the same line, or atleast in same paragraph. All I can seem to do with CSS at the moment is this (using a previously specified external style sheet obviously):

<p id="red">Red text. </p><p id="black">Black text.</p>

This obviously splits the text into two paragraphs. I am sure I am missing something very obvious. Any suggestions?

Thankyou.

Re: {UPDATED}Styles within styles or help in any other way.. 

<p id="red">Red text. <span class="black">Black text.</span></p>

Spans are used for introducing different styles inline to block level elements like paragraphs, headers etc.

You're NOT using font tags, are you? Please tell me you're not - wait - no - NO!!! You are using font tags. They've been deprecated forever in favor of - you guessed it - CSS.
