I'm embarrassed to admit it, but it was only 3 weeks ago I finally learned how to put a horizontal line in a webpage!
Yes, despite having dozens of sites and making webpages for over 6 years, it was only last month that I figured out how to make a line appear in my pages.
I assume it was because you seldom use them, so I never gave it much thought. Anytime I wanted to make a line in a page I just gave up.
So for everyone else, if you want to make a simple horizontal line to separate anything on a page, simply use this code:
HR
I can't get the code to stay, so just put the HR inside the two open/close characters. That's it, simple as that. Putting that code anywhere will give you a horizontal line.
Of course most of you already know that. See, everyone learns something new every day!
it is the little things like this that makes both, webpage making fun and keeps us humble huh !
I have a simple wordpad page on my desktop at the far right and I put all these little code gems and other useful stuff, like making words jump up and down, in there - then when I am working I have the browser page an inch open on the left so I can see it if I want it. I also put in those bits of code that change a page so they are to hand if I want to do the thing again.
Yeah I have many notepad pages with codes and stuff in them for when I need them. Just too much stuff to remember on your own!
Bill, try this next time:
CSS 3
.div { border-bottom solid thin rgb(204,204,204) }
In Page
style="border-bottom: solid thin #CCCCCC;"
Why? If you are using IE or even older Opera, Firefox browsers, the Horizontal Rule can look hideously huge. have fun.

Unbelievable.......... Six years of programming without knowing about the hr tag.
