rdouglass Posts: 9224 From: Biddeford, ME USA Status: offline	RE: lines - 5/23/2006 12:47:49 <hr style="width:50%;left:20px;"> (an example) Something like that perhaps? The <hr> element does support CSS styles. That help? _____________________________ Don't take you're eye off your final destination. ASP Checkbox Function Tutorial. (in reply to curious monkey)

jaybee Posts: 14152 Joined: 10/7/2003 From: Berkshire, UK Status: offline	RE: lines - 5/23/2006 13:48:29 Yes there are issues. It's to do with FF rendering the line differently to IE. SURPRISE!!! I have hr{height:5px; color:#cc99ff;border: 1px solid #ffffcc;} the idea being that it's a lilac coloured line with a cream coloured border. FF gives me the border with a blank middle. One example of IE rendering better than FF. (I shall now go and wash my mouth out with carbolic) Whoa! I've just noticed what Opera does with it. Same as FF but it ignores floats and goes straight through them. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?

jaybee Posts: 14152 Joined: 10/7/2003 From: Berkshire, UK Status: offline	RE: lines - 5/23/2006 14:01:17 Right, to have a background for the line, IE uses color, all the others use background-color so to have them appear the same in all browsers you need to specify both so my style line above becomes: hr{height:5px; color:#cc99ff; background-color:#cc99ff; border: 1px solid #ffffcc;} Still doesn't help with Opera ignoring the floats though. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
