<HR> border

Does anyone know how to get rid of the border on a HR tag in IE? I want to replace the horizontal rule with a image that I have, and so i don't need the border that makes the HR up. In Netscape i can easily use:
border: 0px #000000 solid
to get rid of the border, but it has no effect in IE.

Thanks for any help, BestZestMaybe:border: 0 none;Thanks, but I'm afraid it doesn't work.
Add. info:
Internet Explorer v6.0
Netscape v7.1
The code:

<style>
hr{width: 500;
height: 20;
background-image: url('hr.jpg');
border: 0 none;}
</style>


Thanks again, BestZestMaybe you need to replace the hrs with a class .hr applied to a div. ??? I know; not as clean but maybe a lot more portable.If you use a <div> tag, make sure to watch how you define the font size and hieght for it because I had to play around with them when testing in Mozilla, IE, and Opera. I didn't have a truely empty <div> tag, so maybe not having a space in there would make a difference. I wasn't using a background image either, but I was trying to do the same thing concept wise.what about


hr.test {
border: 0;
background: url(xxx.gif);
}


then within the HR

<hr class="test">


does this work??

*Edit* Your could always use a div defining a height and background image. let me know if you want to use that*Thanks for your help guys (or girls?), but in the end I gave up with the <HR> tag, it seems that IE ignores the 'border' attribute when you specify a background image. Instead I have used a DIV layer with a background image. If you are interested the code is below:
<style>
.hr{position:relative;
left:60;
width: 500;
height: 20;
background-image: url('hr.jpg')}
</style>

First content.
<div class="hr"></div>
Second bit.


You can see I have positioned the layer specifically. I'm lucky in that I know all my HR's will be the same distance from the left, so I can set this, but for other designs this wouldn't work. Just out of interest, does anyone know how you can centre objects in CSS, because that would be a better solution. It looks the same in both IE and Netscape, which is great, but I havn't been able to test it in Opera because I dont have it at the moment.

Thanks again for the help, and I hope everyone's learnt something here :p

BestZestYou need to put units (probably px) on those positioning values.Originally posted by BestZest

you could apply text-align: center to the parent element.
