Styles

[Bill Gee]

Can I create styles for horizontal lines in my external CSS and if so, how
can I go about it?
What is the html tag called <hr> for?

<hr> = horizontal rule (line)

Bill,
what is it you're trying to make your horizontal line look like?

I developed a trick where I just lay the <hr> onto the page but in the style
sheet I have hr{display: none;} and make a div that I surround it with that
can look like anything I want, so usually it's got a width, height, and I
use an image as the background. usually I call it .hr
so after I'm done with the page I'll do a find and replace on <hr> and
replace it with <div class="hr"><hr></div>.

It's worked nicely for me. If you want I'll cut and paste an example of
exactly what it looks like on the style sheet.

Chris:

Umm - what does that do for you?

That is my question also ;>)

it's just a quick, light way to make very fancy <hr> that can be controlled
by the style sheet, i.e. if I want them to print, revert to a different
format in other media types, change the image for it throughout the site in
just one place, etc.
