Hi pab1953, I think what you are referring to maybe just a normal <hr> tag but with a specified size and colour:- <hr size="1" color="lightblue" /> of course if using css you can pop the detail into a class and reference it, but this is what I use on my pages, and it looks like the ones you were referring to in the NY times, Hope this helps, MRb

Thanks. I also learned how you can create a 2px by 2px "speck" and adjust its size using the Height and Width attributes. Which is good, but it doesn't help me solve the problem of using such lines with a table that has <td colspan="2">. Where do they go? Maybe working with CSS borders is easier.

it is done with CSS DIV borders....each block is a small container and you can specify border size,color,thickness and so on..
havent seen the site but this is common practice in css site creation.

I would use:
CSS:
.sepe {width:100%;height:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;border-left:none;border-right:none;border-top:none;}
HTML:
<hr class="sepe" />
Hope it helps, it's probably not a good way to do it but it looks good and gets the job done!

Thanks for feedback. I'm still on the trail of an answer. Uplius, that is one possible solution. But how do you apply that to vertical lines?..

I wouldn't use the horizontal rule (<hr> ) tag. It's now deprecated. Better to use CSS borders on container other HTML elements.

Oh, thanks for that Limbo, I thought as it was, but it still validates so I still use it, however using DIV's to achieve the same effect, I find to be troublesome, so I opt for the older, way of doing it. Just personal preference. Cheers MRb
