HR noshade

Description

By default, most (but not all) browsers display the hr element as a bevelled line, an effect that is uniformly recognised as ‘a bit ugly looking’. The noshade attribute is an optional - and deprecated - attribute that switches the bevel effect off, flattening the line.

For XML validation purposes (if used in XHTML), the format is:
<hr noshade="noshade" />
as attributes must have an associated value, but in HTML 3.2 and 4.01, it is perfectly valid to have:
<hr noshade>

Value

Accepted value is only "noshade"
