Problem with the HR tag - Page 2

Well, with ADE there is no way to apply an align to an <hr />. It's a bug and the only way to do it so it works is to use % like 20% and then apply a margin to make it centered. Sorry, but that's the best way to do it and it does work.

Yeah, most browsers also accept <hr style="text-align: center" />, but it's not standard CSS/XHTML. Using the auto margins is the correct way, but as Jellby pointed out, ADE doesn't seem to support that.

To create a separator with asterisks that has space above and below, you could do * * *, which would give you the spacing without needing  

I had reasons for wanting to use a fixed width, but since it's not supported, I'm not going to worry about it too much.

But if you use 1.0em, then the spacing does change if you change the size of the font. If you want a fixed amount of spacing, use px as in 20px.
