Vertical line in HTML

[daisiee69]

Hi all,

How does someone put a vertical line in a website. I know how to put an horizontal one but not vertical. Or, in a table, can someone specific which side has a border ?

Thanks

I don't know of any tag that will do that, but you could always use an image. Also you could make a table that will include a vertical line in the middle.

Yep it's pretty easy to do it with using inline styles. You can do it a number of ways actually for example:
with tables

«table border="0"»
«tr»
	«td style="border-left: 2px solid Black;"» Vertical line in HTML«br»

Thanks«/td»
«/tr»
«/table»

or how about with DIV

«DIV style="border-left: 2px solid Black;"»Vertical line in HTML«br»

or with nothing more than P

«P style="border-left: 2px solid Black;"»Vertical line in HTML«br»

.. you see the pattern .. you can move that border to whichever side you want, you can change the type of border, color, thickness .. styles are a very versatile addition to your coding repertoire.

You can also achieve the same effect with the old trick of using an image. Create a transparent gif 1px by 1px and call it clear.gif, then just put it in a column something like:
<td bgcolor="#000000" height="100" width="1"<>img src="images/clear.gif">

It can be a little harder to control the height using css.

You won't find anything similar to the <hr> tag though.
