Horizontal Lines

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 22.2009

A question so simple I’m almost embarrased to ask…

Is there any way to reduce the margins around a horizontal line?
I’ve tried
<hr style=’margin:0px’> but that didn’t have any effect.

Cheers

@chestertbauthorFeb 22.2009 — I should add... I'm not talking about placing in it a <div> with top and left co-ordinates... I'm just wondering if there's a way to effect the <hr> element itself.

<HR WIDTH="50%"> 50%=percent of the page

hope that helps ?

&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
hr {display:block;margin:-.5em 0;}
&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;![endif]--&gt;

@chestertbauthorFeb 22.2009 — Thanks C4eaglem. It wasn't the actuial size of the line I was asking about, it was the space before and after.

And thanks Fang. That worked adequately in IE, but not so well in FF. Curiously, style='margin-bottom: -.5em 0' didn't work in either.

Cheers

The condititional comment for IE MUST come after the Fx style which is defined external not inline.
