Is it possible to declare multiple CSS classes?

no not currently. Eventually you will be able to do it when CSS2 is supported in browsers with the following syntax :
class="classOne classTwo"
BTW a class name should always start with a letter. I imagine your class name 2 is just for example purpose but in case it wasn't I thought I would mention it. Gary Haran
class="classOne classTwo"

Or maybe something like this is possible
<style type="text/css">
.one
{
attributes
}
.one.two
{
attributes
}
<span class=two>asdfasdf</span>
whereby calling two, I could have both attributes from class one and two. Is this possible?
</style>
<style type="text/css">
.one
{
attributes
}
.one.two
{
attributes
}
<span class=two>asdfasdf</span>
whereby calling two, I could have both attributes from class one and two. Is this possible?
</style>
no that shouldn't work. that syntax is use when you want an elemental selector to have other features. however you could cheat the system using this example :
<html>
<head>
<title>check all</title>
<style>
a /* elemental selector */
{
color: red ;
}
a.two /* class selector on a element */
{
font-weight: bold ;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="test.html">this is a test</a>
<a href="test.html">this is a test</a>
<a href="test.html">this is a test</a>
<a href="test.html" class=two>this is a test</a>
<a href="test.html">this is a test</a>
<a href="test.html">this is a test</a>
</body>

Yuo can do what you want by combining CSS classes and IDs. Here's an example:
.class1 { font: 10pt arial,sans-serif; color: black }
#green1 { color: green }
#bold1 { font-weight: bold }
then in html body:
<p class=class1>this is black sans-serif text
<span id=green1>but this is green (color declaration in ID overrides the one from class)</span>.
</p>
<p class=class1 id=bold1>this is black and bold sans-serif text because it uses a combination of css class and id.
</p>
good luck

Thanks. I will try the id/class deal but I will be happy once css2 is fully supported
