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?

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?

I never use hr tag, find it unsemantical and redundant. Before CSS3
is fully supported by all important browsers, the semantic way I use
is utilizing one of the existing div or type selector.
Site like smashing magazine feeds hype which is unhelpful for web
standards and accessibility–but this is what the site's purpose is:
vanity, kitsch and hype. Oops, I hope the site owner isn't a member
here :-)
However, seeing that HTML 5 has given hr tag a new purpose:
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-hr-element
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#flow-content-0
quote:
The hr element represents a paragraph-level thematic break, e.g. a
scene change in a story, or a transition to another topic within a
section of a reference book.
So the decision is circumstantial, sometime you use hr, and
sometimes use CSS 3 border background property.
Then my question, what about those who prefer to stick with XHTML?
The hr tag is deprecated.
In gassho,
