[thelist] Re: <hr> and Netscape

[sasha]

Is it really that big of a deal that netscape 4.x
decides to show a transparentish 3d hr instead of
a particular color?  Chalk it up to one of the
limitations of an old browser.  It certainly has
nothing to do with whether or not the color is
"web safe".  If it absolutely *has* to be that
particular color, just make an image you can
stretch to the desired size.
