HTML Tutorials - Horizontal Rule
The <hr> tag creates a horizontal line in an HTML page and can be used to separate content. The <hr> tag only employs a start tag and does not have an end tag.
Using the <hr> tag alone without any attributes or values will draw a horizontal rule at the default height (2 pixels), at the default width (100% of the available horizontal space)
Example:
Dear Sir,<br /><br /> <hr /> |
Output in internet explorer would look like:
The Horizontal Rule has a number of attributes
size="pixels" - Using the size attribute in the <hr> tag, you can specify the height of your horizontal rule in pixels.
width="pixels or percentage" - Using the width attribute, you can explicitly set the width of your horizontal rule
align="left, center or right" - you can use the align attribute to position it to the left, in the center or to the right on your web page
color="color definition" - you can actually define the color of your horizontal rule using the color attribute.
Example:
Dear Sir,<br /><br /> <hr size="5" color="red" width="50%" align="left" > |
