Hi, does anybody knows which is the equivalent tag in CSS of the HTML HR tag or how do i replace this. I need this because the HR tag is deprecated and i wanna validate a website.

The code that i need to replace is this:

best regards,

That's quite easy in fact. You need to define a HR element in your CSS. Although note that there's some discrepancy in the CSS tags across different browsers. Somewhat like this:


IE supports the color tag, while Mozilla and Opera support background-color. You can even use the tag background-image to replace the standard boring rule with some nice separator graphic.

Here's a page outlining all you need to know about the HR tag:
Styling HR

HR has not been deprecated, but maybe the attributes for it has been. Unless this is XHTML 2.0, though I believe it still exists as well as new introductory tags like separator, etc.

If you're using XHTML, then the hr tag is <hr />

If you're using HTML then it's just <hr>

Cheers,

Is the page uploaded for us to see and what (exactly) is the warning or error message when you try to validate?

Sorry folks i confused what is deprecated, so you are right, the HR has not been deprecated, some of its attributes has been.

This is the code:

And generate the following warning:
Warning: <hr> proprietary attribute "color"
The tag contains an attribute that is proprietary to Netscape or Internet Explorer.

The solution is this and works with IE and Firefox:

regards,

I don't think color attribute for horizontal rule has never been in W3C recommendation. I could be wrong though.

If you don't use HR for some specific trick, I'd recommend setting a consistent style for it using CSS. In normal pages HR should be used in a quite same matter and when you want to differ from it you can use special classes.
