How about this?

hr { display: none; }

or, if you want the hard rule to take up space in the document layout, but 
remain invisible, perhaps the following would work?  (unsure)

hr { visibility: hidden; }

There might be other tricks with the z-index property you could try as well.

<.script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
//reloads the window if Nav4 resized
function MM_reloadPage(init) {
   if (init==true) with (navigator) {
   if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
     document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; 
onresize=MM_reloadPage;
     }
   }
   else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) 
location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
// -->
</script>

That's the code that Dreamweaver generates.  The issue as I understand it 
is not about reloading the CSS file, but the HTML file.  When the window in 
NN4.x is resized, it breaks the layout and must be reloaded to display 
properly (if you're lucky, that is).

I believve AOL's latest browser is based on IE.  Which version?  I'm not 
positive, but I'd guess it's at least 4 if not already 5.x

Hope this helps!
