In HTML5 doesn't the section element do that job? To be honest, I've always 
felt hr seems a strange element to use in any circumstance.

Well, I work arse-backwards from the way most books on Web design
approach things. I gather content first, then mark it up with HTML so
that it reads sensibly without CSS, only then adding structural elements
and CSS. In that context, it sometimes make sense to add HR elements...

Cordially,
David

Depends on how you want the logo to interact with the rest of the 
header. Relative positioning moves the content of the element, but as 
far as the rest of the header is concerned it has not moved. Using 
margins, the entire logo moves, jostling any element that's beside it.


All positioning methods have their uses...

Cordially,
David

With 'position: relative' the element takes up the space in the  
document where it originally would have been and is then shifted  
'relative' to that original position. Margins can be used to push an  
element around but the space it takes up in the document is where it  
is visually.


This is particularly noticeable with negative margins. If you set a  
negative top margin on an element then the element that follows it in  
the document will also move up the page and the gap between them will  
be the same as what it would have been originally. If you use relative  
positioning and set 'top' to a negative value there will be a bigger  
gap between the positioned element and the following element. This is  
because the following element will set its position in relation to  
where the positioned element would have been before positioning.

Does a JS/DOM script exist for checking CSS3 support across user-agents?
