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> <body> <h1 style="text-align: center;">HR styling example</h1> <hr class="solid"> <hr class="dashed"> <hr class="double"> <hr class="dotted"> <hr class="round"> </body> </html>
