Is there an HTML code to draw a straight black line? Just curious!

<hr />s work well but I sometimes have a hard time using CSS to make them look how I want them to look. So, sometimes, I use this instead:

<div style="height: 1px; overflow: hidden; background-color: #000000;"></div>

Just a reminder that the hr tag is deprecated and is not available with strict doctypes in xhtml.I will often use a border-bottom (or top) with some padding and margin to create a similar effect.

Is the element itself deprecated or just the "presentation attributes"?http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_hr.asp says:

All "presentation attributes" of the hr element are not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.

yeah, i have <hr /> tags in my sites and the site still validates. The attributes for styling them, however, doesn't validate.

Under code will give you a colorful line(of color #A6E2FF)<td width="1" valign="top" bgcolor="#A6E2FF">   </td>
