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.
