[WSG] hr/hr tags
Hi there, Can anyone tell me what the current state of play is with the hr/hr tags XHTML? They seem to be the answer for a particular design I'm working on, and they don't appear to be marked for deprecation. Are there any compelling reasons not to use them? (Apart from them being empty tags). Thanks, Nick. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

If you use HTML instead, then you only need hr. They seem to be the answer for a particular design I'm working on, and they don't appear to be marked for deprecation. It may or may not be the best solution, but we can't really advise on the situation unless you explain the use case. Many common uses of HR would actually be better done with a top or bottom border, but there are still many valid use cases for HRs. Are there any compelling reasons not to use them? (Apart from them being empty tags). Why would the fact that it's an empty element be a reason not to use it? -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
