Horizontal Line in IE6

    Greetings,

    I am trying to create a horizontal line using CSS (without an image). The <hr> element is not really as thick as I want it. Thus, I am trying something like this:

    div.hr
    {
    height: 2px;
    background: #000000;
    margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
    padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
    }

    This looks fine in IE7, Firefox, etc.
    SEMrush
    However, in IE6, the line looks like it is about 20 pixels in height.

    Does anybody know the proper adjustment I need to make so IE6 will look more like IE7?

    Thanks in advance!

    Sincerely,
    Travis Walters

    You can use css to style an <hr> element.

    As for why this isn't working, it's because IE is saving enough room for text inside this div. Either set the text size to 1px or turn hide the overflow.
