Hum, Amaya draws a top line with the foreground color and a "white" bottom line. When the height of the <hr> is too short, the colored line is covered by the white bottom line. I changed the write order of top and bottom lines to avoid that problem now. Meanwhile, you can see the colored line by encreasing the height of the <hr>. WHY MUST IT DRAW A 'WHITE' LINE UNDER THE FOREGROUND COLOR LINE... THIS STRIKES ME AS A ''CONTROL'' ISSUE. Can the white line part not be handled as styling --- ie treated as a bottom border line .... that way you can default it to what you like to see ( a 1px white line) but if an author wants to style it differently they can .... this is exactly how opera handles it... a bottom border defaulted to thin white but under user control using styling ..... if you change it, i know it will not be this round but maybe next... and i think that a change will be philosopically correct... to put styling into style sheets not in browser hardcoded..... // John Russell, VE3LL@RAC.CA http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3ll (2 L's as in LLAMA) check HTML at http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/ check CSS at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ check JavaScript at http://www.crockford.com/javascript/jslint.html
