Hr ???

[Smirre]

I have made a style sheet where I set
the HR tag to:

Height: 1px;
color: #000000;

This looks like I want in IE, but not in Netscape.

In Netscape the HR becomes two thin black lines
beside each other, seperated with a white line.

Looks like a small rectagular box.

Can this be fixed??

I can't help you directly, but let me tell you something...
Netscape is crap. They usually have their own "thing" going regarding these matters.

The CSS box model would go something like this in determining total height:

margin-top + border-top + padding-top + height + padding-bottom + border-bottom + margin-bottom = total height taken on screen.
Make sure you use the correct !DOCTYPE to put IE in CSS standards compatibility mode so IE renders the CSS correctly. If you're checking in a Gecko-based browser (NS6+, Mozilla), it will render the tag correctly, where IE will not without the correct !DOCTYPE switch and a DTD url.

Netscape is not crap it is just a little ackward. 75% of the time there is a work around.

try doing that line in a div.

personal opinion......... Netscape is better than IE. IE will let code crappy code and it doesn't care. But Netscape will not run that crappy code so you know you made a mistake. NS makes you a better coder.

Netscape sucks!!!

When then internet was young the Netscape ruled the land, but these days it just plain sucks.

Why doesnt Netscape start following IE??? The biggest on the market sets the rules, this is on all the markets. This way we can have some sort of standard. But not in the browser world, no no !!!

I know i'm going to get alot of crap by saying this, but I'm no Microsoft freak, trust me, but I dont like the idea of having to make several diffrent versions oof my codes to just work properly.... That is so wrong

www.w3.org sets the standards, not MS. Code to them are you're pages will work fine in all recent browsers. Browsers created before the standards obviously couldn't have implemented them.

But this is all MS's fault to begin with in the first place.

W3 org, you think....

the biggest on the market controls how the market should develop....


You get a sort of monopoly by being the biggest. THIS is a fact.

you go ahead and jump on that train. me I will code for Netscape4.79 which is only 2-3 months old and have it so everybody can get top my site. don't code for Netscape and you will be surprised on how many people dn't make it to your site.

to each their own.

No, MS is a member of the W3 body. There browser's tend to support the standards (IE on Mac was the first to have decent CSS support). MS then sticks a boatload of proprietary extensions to encourage people to do what you do, and that then defeats the purpose of having standards.
