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 think <hr> doesn't possess much for semantics. I never use them at all. I know new ideas have been proposed for future versions of (x)HTML, and one example would be XHTML 2 which has <section>s to separate parts of a page. That offers a lot more for semantics than just having <hr>s strewn about. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.net .. designtocss.com ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
