size (HTML attribute)
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.
Description
The size
attribute determines the hr element’s height in
pixels.
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).

used.
