For adding structure, <div/> with a stylesheet adding > bottom- or top-border serves much better. I understand not a few people recognize <hr/> shows a kind of structure, but M12N of XHTML[1] defines it in "Presentation Module" as one of Text Extension Modules. XHTML Basic is based on M12N and is not intended to be rich or backward compatible, so <hr/> and "Presentation Module" are not be included. Of course, you can define new language based on XHTML Basic and including "Presentation Module" or just <hr/>. :-) [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/abstract_modules.html#s_text Regards, Shinichi Matsui matsui@isl.mei.co.jpReceived on Thursday, 14 February 2002 19:27:10 GMT
