Re: Possible to assign a "margin" to any element?
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? |

| 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.
