Re: Possible to assign a "margin" to any element?
That did the trick. Thanks Gwellin. Much appreciated. |

Try using the [code][/code] pseudo-tags that most forums offer you. You could also enter it directly but replace the angle brackets with their meta-character equivalent; for example I can display angle brackets < > by entering this: < >
That combined with some previewing to make sure you got it right will give a more understanding post.

Anyways, about the horizontal rules you were trying to make. You can easily use negative margins in this case for your rule; make them equal to the body margins and that should be it.
Assuming a body margin of 10px.
Also, horizontal rules are block elements, so you don't have to defined the width at all. In fact you shouldn't to prevent possible cross-browser incompatibilities.

Do you mean what I wrote above? Yeah, I did that on purpose so that the post doesn't show the html. On the actual web page of course I had the "" opening brace  or else nothing would have worked at all.
Sorry. I assumed that the post itself showed enough knowledge of html that anyone reading it would assume that I knew enough to make a correct tag. I should have noted that I was purposefully leaving out the first brace so that the html would not render here. My apologies if it through you off.
Do you have a solution to my problem though? |

You are not 'Opening' " with less than but ending correctly with /> |

|  I just want to draw a simple line across a web page. Sounds easy but I am finding it to be very very hard.
So far I am using a simple hr tag. I do the following..
hr color="blue" noshade width="100%" size="10" />
...and I tried...
hr style="color:blue; background-color:blue; width:100%; height:10px; border:none;" />
They both work great except that they don't go ALL the way across the page. They leave a margin on each end of the page due to the body margins of the page. I can of course define no margins for the body and that works great except that then my entire web page has no margins.
So what I would like to do is to be able to define no margins for just the line alone and not effect the rest of the page. Is this possible? I tried using a margin variable on the hr tag in the style but it did not work. |
