Samll clarification: That's not inline Javascript. It's inline CSS. It
is perfectly legal and frequently used, but as Chris points out does not
separate presentation from content as well as it could.
The original question was about including, or not including the
semicolon. Either technique is acceptable. The semicolon is required to
separate attributes, but is not required at the end of a list of
attributes or when there is only one attribute. My preference is to
always include it because I often go back and add more attributes. I
find that always including the semicolon leads to fewer syntax errors.
By the way, a good CSS reference book also answers these questions well
and usually quicker than waiting for list answers.
