Try using inline CSS: <hr size="1" style="width: "80%; color: #b4b4b4; text-align: right;" NOSHADE> Not sure how to set the size on hr, and I don't know what NOSHADE is :)

Pretty sure it still won't colorize in Netscape/Mozilla/Firebird/et al... even with the CSS.
If anyone knows how, I'd like to know also.

I stopped using <hr> years ago. I just create a small gif image and use the browser to re-size it to my needs. Just a couple extra bytes used for solid functionality. If it's just 1-color (maybe 2-color if you want a shading) then this is a situation where changing width in the html is no problem whatsoever, and it works in any browser where images are turned on. And if images are turned off, then you still get a divider created by the placeholder for the image. And if the image is a single color that harmonizes with your site's design, then you can also resize it in many other ways besides substituting for an <hr> - use it for a tiled background to create a big color block, for example.

I recently replaced my <hr> with <div>using the following: .hrnew { border-top: 1px solid #808080; width: 100%; } This will, however, not display in Netscape 4.7. I was annoyed by the extra vertical space IE 6 added to the <hr>. I did not find a solution for this.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong.
Netscape just doesn't know about the color attribute
for hr. As suggest above - use a graphic instead.

Try this: <hr size="1" width="80%" [b]style="color:#b4b4b4;background:#b4b4b4;"[/b] ALIGN="RIGHT" NOSHADE> That will validate and should do the job. Mozilla/Netscape 6.x and up use the background color rather than the foreground color to style the hr tag. Using the color attribute isn't valid (althogh the rest is if you're using a transitional doctype), but you can replace color by the CSS equivalent. I feel that hr has it's place, although many don't like the fact that it is considered to be presentational rather than structural.

For the record, I tried my own suggestion and it was black in Opera, no matter what color I set. I also tried background and still nothing. I think, either the image, or the border solution would be the way to go. Bm

Thanks encyclo. I had the background color as transparent. Changing it to the same color now gives Firefox colored <HR>s, although not as deeply as IE. Guess I don't really care about NS4.
