  •      This page will explain the usage of a Horizontal Rule or Linebreak tag. For explanation purposes, the lines will be color coded for easier explanation. The explanation of each line will be below it showing what is required in each line, and what can be modified to suit your own personal needs.

    For future reference  .  the little dot you see is 1 pixel by 1 pixel : )

    <hr align="center" width="70%" size="1"color="#C0C0C0">
    Now lets see what each part of the tag above does, and how it can be modified to suit your needs.

    FYI: The code above is the one used to make the Horizontal rule that separates the different parts of the explanation below.
    hr
    **Required**
    This tells the browser that this is going to be a Horizontal Rule

    align="center"
    **Not Required**
    This tells the browser where to place the line in the page. Options are Left, Center and Right.
    width="70%"
    **Not Required**
    This tells the browser how wide to make the line. This can either be entered as a percentage or pixel width. A percentage is better to use as it will re-size with the page for different browser and resolution settings
    size="1"
    **Not Required**
    This tells the browser how tall or thick to make the line. This is measured in pixels.
    color="#C0C0C0"
    **Not Required**
    This tells the browser what color to make the line. If you are unfamiliar with Hexadecimal colors (which is what I have shown here) browsers will also understand basic color commands such as red, blue, yellow, green, etc...
