Re validating style

Hi to all,
I have been trying to validate my pages and am almost there except for this.
I get the following message

  <style>
        ^
Error: required attribute "TYPE" not specified

when trying to validate the following

<style>
<!--
a:hover {color:#ffd700}
-->
</style>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
h1{color:red}
h2{color:red}
h3{color:red}
-->
</style>
I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me what type should be included
for the first style and I assume that the second type is correct. I don't
know a lot about styles and am trying this out
TIA
