what do you call this gray line thing in html

Question

hi what do you call this "gray line" in html, where you can use like a separator?

Thanks

Answer 1

<hr /> is this what you mean?

Answer 2

I assume you're talking about the <hr /> element. HR stands for horizontal rule.

Answer 3

Do you mean simply a nicely formatted | character?

Or perhaps a horizontal rule? <hr />

One thing I always found was CSS control over an HR tag is very limited, I always tend to go for a div defined in my CSS as being long and thin.

Answer 4

You're probably referring to <hr/>, which is a Horizontal Rule.

Answer 5

this is called a horizontal rule and can be created using the following:

<hr />

However, the fact that the line is gray is online its default behaviour. Using CSS you can style it as you like.

Answer 6

, which is horizontal rule

It doesn't need to be gray either as it can take styles just like anything else, although how these behave in different browsers can be tricky.
