Attributes of the <hr> tag
The tag <hr> by itself produces an horizontal rule that is thin and crosses the entire window. You can alter the appearance of the rule -- make it shorter or taller or change its color -- by adding appropriate attributes and their values to the tag. For example, if you say:
<hr size = "10">
you get a taller rule.
Some other attributes of the <hr> tag are:
- width = "n" (where n is a number)
- width = "n%" (where n is a number)
- align = "left" or "right" or "center"
- noshade
Note that most attributes require values, but some, like noshade, do not. Note also that the values are enclosed in quote marks.
Experiment with the attributes of the <hr> tag until you understand their affects.
