Thanks very much Daniel--I was actually using borders originally but decided I wanted to use an <hr> for its semantic value. We are a public university and I think this could be an accessibility issue for blind users as they wouldn't "see" the borders (and the div contains nothing else to tell them it's a "section break."
Is the article I referenced about how to accomplish this in Mozilla-based browsers out of date? I got the link from this thread from only a year ago: http://forum.stylegala.com/about1038.html&highlight= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Venditelli, Daniel - Web Development Administrator Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 5:30 PM To: css-d@lists.css-discuss.org Subject: Re: [css-d] Problems styling an <hr> in FF 1.5.0.4 Allison, I had a similar issue earlier today and ended up using this instead: #subsection { position: static; border-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-color: #ccc; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; } And then this where I wanted the rule: <div id="subsection></div> I'm controlling the width with a parent div but you should be able to just add width to the above. Also I'm using the margin info for dealing with text on the same page. You may or may not need that. Best of luck, Daniel --- Daniel E.

It looks fine in IE 6.0/PC. I'm following these instructions: http://www.sovavsiti.cz/css/hr.html And the code is: <div class="AdminTablelessDivider" id="input" name="input"><hr></div> .AdminTablelessDivider hr { color: #CCCCCC; background-color: #CCCCCC; height: 1px; } I can't show the page because it's a web app that requires log in. Any idea what could be wrong? I searched the archives and didn't find anything. Thanks!
