Description
The size
attribute determines the hr element’s height in
pixels.
Example
This code places a ten-pixel-high red horizontal rule after the paragraph:
<p>And with that the actress and the bishop apologized for being
a real-life, walking-cliché ending to a non-existent joke.</p>
<hr color="red" size="10"/>
<div id="footer">© All content copyright 2008. Even the
unfunny stuff.</div>
Figure 1 shows a rule that’s 30 pixels high.
Figure 1. A 30-pixel horizontal line
Value
This attribute takes as its value a number wrapped in quotes (which is understood and rendered as pixels on screen—there’s no need to specify unit of measurement, as we saw in the example above).

deprecated (presentational) attribute, it should not be
used.
