There is no "color" attribute for the "hr" element in any standard version of HTML. If you really wanted, you could write your own DTD that defines a "color" attribute for the "hr" element. See <http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/customdtd.html> for an example of using a custom DTD. However, it's probably better instead to use Cascading Style Sheets to specify the colour of "hr" elements. -- Liam Quinn
