[WSG] hr / or CSS3 Border Background
Hi, After reading the following article, I ask which is more semantic, using the hr / element with a background or using the CSS3 border background property?

Hi, Thanks, SMASH has some good contributions. As with any resource, absorb what is useful, reject the useless. Does any DOM conditional exist for checking CSS3 support in user agents?
