NetScape's first HTML extensions offered some more formatting options for the <hr> tag . The NetScape browser displayed the solid line separator with a three-dimensional, shaded look rather then the solid line as displayed in previous web browsers.
<hr size=N>
where N is the thickness of the line in pixels.
Let's look at some examples to show the effect.
<hr size=2> same as <hr> :
<hr size=8> :
<hr size=20> :
The other formatting option for the <hr> tag is to adjust the width of the linen- it does not necessarily have to stretch across the whole page. You can do this by using this format:
<hr width=X>
<hr width=Z%>
where X is a number of pixels for the width and Z is the percentage of the current web page. In general I would recommend using the percentage as it will adjust itself the width of the browser window used by the person reading your pages (some people out there are using 2-page high resolution monitors while other home surfers are squinting into their 13" screens).
Here are some examples (see how we include the size tag as well):
<hr width=80 size=10> :
<hr width=80% size=10> :
<hr width=40% size=10> :
<hr width=5% size=10> :
Finally, there may be a case where you do not want the 3D shading on the <hr> tag. It is as simple as:
<hr width=80% size=6 noshade>
