Another alternative is to simply replace the hr with a p tag and a class
like .lne{border-top:1px solid #ff0000;}. This too employs a block level
element. I've heard arguments that this is preferable to using hr.

Subject: [wdvltalk] Re: red line in Opera
Jon, Matt, John and David,
Thank you all for your advice.
'hr' didn't do it; closing ';' didn't do it; lower-casing the hex
didn't do it. ---
Jon, your piece of code below *did* do it. Then I took a step too
far! I realised the table borders were coming up grey instead of
gold and I tried to adapt the code for tables.
In IE I got ALL the boxes outlined (of course, would have to make a
'class' of it); in Opera it turned into a jumble - though the visible
lines of boxes were the colour I specified!
Of course if you had an idea for that.....
Many thanks,
Joseph
