Attributes of the
<hr>
Tag
There are a number of attributes that can be used to modify the appearance of a horizon-
tal rule. Although they work in current browsers, they have been removed from HTML5,
and you should use CSS instead. The
size
attribute indicates the thickness, in pixels, of
the rule line. The default is
2
, and this also is the smallest that you can make the rule
line. Figure 7.7 shows the sample rule line thicknesses created with the following code:
Input
▼
<
h2
>2 Pixels
</h2>
<hr size=”2” />
<
h2
>4 Pixels
</h2>
<hr size=”4” />
<
h2
>8 Pixels
</h2>
<hr size=”8” />
<
h2
>16 Pixels
</h2>
<hr size=”16” />
