[WSG] hr/hr tags

2006-03-08 Thread Nick Lazar
Hi there, Can anyone tell me what the current state of play is with the hr/hr tags XHTML? They seem to be the answer for a particular design I'm working on, and they don't appear to be marked for deprecation. Are there any compelling reasons not to use them? (Apart from them being empty tags).

Gunlaug Sørtun: Nothing wrong with 'conditional comments' I always weigh it up with the cost of CC code size plus the server trip for the file, vs. the code size for inline '* html hacks', usually the latter method wins. kind regards Terrence Wood.
