How to style an hr element with CSS?
To separate the content on an HTML web page, the <hr> element is used. The <hr> tag only consists of the opening tag i.e.; no closing tag is required. Insert a horizontal rule i.e., a line using the <hr> element. To style the <hr> element, the border properties play a major role. The border shorthand property or if you want to style a specific area of the horizontal line, then border-top, border-bottom, border-left, etc. properties can be used. Let us see how to style the <hr> element with HTML and CSS.
Set the hr element
For our example, we have set the <hr> element here. Five <hr> elements are set to style them separately with classes −
<hr class="solid"> <hr class="dashed"> <hr class="double"> <hr class="dotted"> <hr class="round">
Solid horizontal line
Here, we will create a solid horizontal line and style it with the border-top property −
.solid {
border-top: 5px solid rgb(16, 2, 141);
}
Dashed horizontal line
Here, we will create a dashed horizontal line and style it with the border-top property −
.dashed {
border-top: 5px dashed rgb(190, 13, 146);
}
Double horizontal line
Here, we will create a double horizontal line and style it with the border-top property −
.double {
border-top: 5px double rgb(22, 145, 11);
}
Dotted horizontal line
Here, we will create a dotted horizontal line and style it with the border property −
.dotted {
border: 5px dotted rgb(200, 255, 0);
}
Round horizontal line
Here, we will create a dotted horizontal line and style it with the border-radius property −
.round {
border: 5px solid rgb(35, 196, 142);
border-radius: 5px;
}
Example
To style an hr element with CSS, the code is as follows −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body{
font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
margin: 20px;
}
hr{
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.solid {
border-top: 5px solid rgb(16, 2, 141);
}
.dashed {
border-top: 5px dashed rgb(190, 13, 146);
}
.double {
border-top: 5px double rgb(22, 145, 11);
}
.dotted {
border: 5px dotted rgb(200, 255, 0);
}
.round {
border: 5px solid rgb(35, 196, 142);
border-radius: 5px;
}
</style>
</head>
