XHTML Tutorial - "hr" Tags/Elements
(Continued from previous topic...)
What Are "hr" Tags/Elements?
A "hr" element is a block level element that can be used directly as
a sub-element in the body element. You can use "hr" elements to specify
horizontal rulers.
Here are basic rules about "hr" elements:
- "hr" elements can only have empty contents.
- "hr" elements are block elements. They can not be used as in-line elements.
- "hr" elements will be displayed as solid horizontal rulers (lines).
Here is a good example of "hr" elements:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Horizontal Rulers</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Knock, knock Who's there? ...</p>
<hr/>
<p>Why did the turtle cross the road? ...</p>
</body>
</html>
If you save the above document as rulers.html, and view it with
Internet Explorer, you will see that a horizontal line is displayed as shown below:
