horizontal lines in a box

am 16.08.2007 22:12:54 von rsimpson505

I have defined a box is CSS.
How can I draw a horizontal line inside the box to divide the text
content in two?

(An HR tag breaks the box and cause a page split.)

Divide the text with two internal block elements and style the first
with a bottom border

maybe with another div?
or by applying

p {
border-top:1px solid #000;
}

but I don't know want exactly you want to achieve. Please post a URL to
demonstrate your problem.

Don't know about that, but I did see Justin Timberlakes "Dick in a
box" music video and it was pretty funny.

A box? How? What exactly is a CSS box?

URL?

A page split? HTML has no concept of pages. And if a

splits something
then what you put the

in is probably not a "box".

Hmmm. Guessing. You are trying to put a

into a

, thinking that the

is a box? No? Well...

Show us a URL as to how a

breaks your box.

Given that you have come in from the dreaded google groups I quite expect to
never to hear from you again. It was fun, however, to try to guess what you
are really asking.

Richard - you issued the challenge, so you are hearing from me (after
a delay, I admit).
You forced me to examine my "definition" - it turns out that a class="...."> is not the same as

. The div gives a box which accepts an hr; the p
does not. Right?
And Jonathan and Bertrand, on the way to a solution I used input from
you both.
To all, my thanks (even from a Google Groups user :-)

PS What should I use instead of GG? Not OE6 surely?

A div and a p element is something definitely different. The p-element
is used to structure text (A paragraph is a semantic element with
respect to content). A div can be used as a block element in order to
provide a layout container. I suggest you start to read some good books
about CSS/HTML.

I believe you are trying to incorporate something like this:

Your Text here

Second part of text

The

would then serve as your horizontal separator between the two
paragraphs.

I use Thunderbird as my News-reader. This is handy enough for me, maybe
others have different choices.

> MFG

does that translates into Mit Freundlichen Grüssen? :-)
