<hr> element
This page was last updated on 2025-11-16
The HR element defines a horizontal rule for visual browsers. While this element is inherently presentational, it can be used structurally as a section divider. However, for greater flexibility the HR element can be replaced with the border-bottom or border-top properties of Cascading Style Sheets. For example, the following style rule would suggest a horizontal line above all DIV elements with CLASS=navbar:
div.navbar { border-top: solid medium navy }
