I am very much of the school of thought that we should use XHTML 2 as a way to kill off the <hr /> element. Once <br /> is gone, <hr /> will be the only empty visible element (ie: not inside <head /> or <object />) Instead we should define a special object type attribute value, say "special/hr" that can be used like this: <p>Block of text</p> <object type="special/hr">------------------</object> <p>More text after a horizontal rule</p> This can be used for those people who are desperate for a rule, but refuse to use CSS, or for CSS-less browsers. -- Toby A Inkster BSc (Hons) ARCS E-mail: tobyink@goddamn.co.uk PGP: http://www.goddamn.co.uk/tobyink/node.cgi?id=12 Web Page: http://www.goddamn.co.uk/tobyink/ IM: AIM:inka80 ICQ:6622880 YIM:tobyink Jabber:tobyink@a-message.de Being a BALD HERO is almost as FESTIVE as a TATTOOED KNOCKWURST.
