for inferior explorer I have had success with wrapping hr's in div's
<div class="hr"><hr /></div>
then use css to put the background etc on the div and hide the hr inside
with display: none.
though alot of the time I have had issues with the placement of hr's
displayed after floated elements; this occurs with and without the use of
the div wrapper. Again in IE only.

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
