I love HRs,
I use seven different stylesheets and have a different background image
for each HR which is a very wide thin tiling pattern. Then you can have
different HRs for each style. I also use them to ensure clear breaks on
both sides. Explorer does not seem to support the background image in
HR , but it looks great in everything else.
HR.No1menuHR{display:block;height:6px;color:#FFCC66;margin-top:
20px;margin-bottom: 20px;background-image:
url("Logos/ABlackLine.jpg");}
HR.No1menuHR{display:block;height:6px;color:#FFCC66;margin-top:
18px;margin-bottom: 18px;background-image:
url("../Logos/AHorizrule.jpg");clear: both;}
I put new headings after the HR

I've found myself wondering just what semantic meaning the <hr> tag
adds to a document. The typical usage is when you want to separate
sections of a page. The thing is that a <hN> tag indicates a new
section too. Another issue is that we generally seem to put them in
our markup then hide them using display: none which makes them
invisible to screen readers anyway. Is anyone actually gaining any
benefit from the <hr> tag other than people who browse with styles
disabled?
I always tend to structure my documents using clear headings and have
no obvious (to me) need for use of horizontal rules. When I write a
document in a word processor I never use horizontal lines to indicate
a new section, I use a new heading.
I guess what i'm asking is, if you structure a document correctly
should you ever need to use the <hr> tag?
One of these days i'm going to have to start a thread about something
other than simple curiosities :)
