HTML hr align Attribute

HTML <hr> tag

Definition and Usage

The align attribute specifies horizontal alignment of the hr (horizontal ruler) element.

This attribute does not have any effect unless the width is less than 100%.

Compatibility Notes

The align attribute of the hr element was deprecated in HTML 4.01 and is not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.

Use CSS instead.

CSS syntax for IE and Opera: <hr style="text-align:right" />

CSS syntax for Firefox: <hr style="margin-right:0" />

For cross-browser syntax use both: <hr style="text-align:right;margin-right:0" />

In our CSS tutorial you can find more details about the text-align property.
