The SRC attribute of <HR> in HTML 3.0

See what happens here if the SRC attribute is used with <HR> which should override the default look of the horizontal rule by substituting the graphic image pointed to. The look, if it worked, might be similar to this:

__________________________________________________________________

See here whether your user agent supports the HTML 3.0 attribute:


The CLEAR attribute would allow the <HR> line to meet the side of an image, or else to go below it, depending upon the value set for this attribute. This first one uses <HR CLEAR="LEFT">. It should extend from the left margin to some point on the picture at the right.


This next one uses <HR CLEAR="ALL">, so it should go under the picture, if your user agent understands this attribute.


If not, then this should reconstruct what it would look like if it were implmented to show <HR CLEAR="ALL"> correctly:
 


CLEAR="LEFT" means move down until the left margin is clear, CLEAR="RIGHT" is the same for right margins, CLEAR="ALL" is for both margins, and also such values as CLEAR="40en" and CLEAR="100px" have been suggested in the description for HTML 3.0 draft.

The other attribute, MD might take such a value as md5:jV2OfH+nnXHU8bnkPAad/mSQlTDZ which would be some binary encoded or encrypted string associated with some particular generation of the SRC resourse, so as to be able to detect if it has been modified and if so not to use it. This attribute is simply provided as a part of HTML 3.0 wherever the SRC attribute is used. Like LANG, it has no relavance to <HR>.
