Re: Aligning HR using CSS, specifically in Mozilla

Sorry 'bout that, I misunderstood. From what I've read, "text-align" is a
block level element. Maybe try something like this:

(div style="text-align:left" >(hr width="660">(/div>

That might work for you. I tried it and it worked in IE 6 & NN 4.0
