Too light grey color

[Ray]

I have following statment in a html file. Is there any control the grey
color to be darker?

<hr size=2 width=20% align="left">

Thanks,

Ray

Yes.

<hr size=2 width=20% align="left">

Size, width and align are deprecated - use CSS. Something like this:

hr {border: 1px solid #333333; width: 20%;}

hr {border: 1px solid #333333; width: 20%;}

The OP should also become aware that use of <HR> without CSS is in a sense
ambiguous and loosely-defined. It may be interpreted and thus rendered
differently in different browsers/engines.

HR does not have a colour associated with it. Grey must be attributed to some
Netscape colour convention.

Yes, for a style sheet or style in the head of the doc.

To the Op, if you want to do it inline (closest to what you are
doing), use <hr style="border:1px #999
solid;width:20%;margin-left:0px"> - or #666 or #333 depending on
the darkness, 333 is /very/ dark. I assume you would control the
left alignment with something like the suggestion here, seems to
work, but there may be better advice on this?
