Cross platform HRs using CSS are tricky. As you are using transitional, why 
not use the width attribute in the HR?

If you want the HR to be a % width, setting the left and right margins 
might work. Its been a while since I experimented with this though. For 
example, if you wanted the HR to be 50% wide and center aligned, you could 
write:

<.hr style="margin-left:25%; margin-right:25%">

And if you wanted it to be 100px wide, you could try

<.hr style="width 100px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">

But I'd be surprised if it worked (although it is the correct way to center 
align a block level element like HR).
