Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 226454

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041006 MultiZilla/1.6.2.0c
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041006 MultiZilla/1.6.2.0c

The example page is validated HTML 4.01 strict. The style "text-align:left" is
specified both for the hr tag and the containing div, but Mozilla 1.7.3 ignores it.

When the alignment is done via align attribute, it is honored; but this won't
validate. Apparently there is no way with Mozilla to have a left-aligned hr with
"strict" validated code.

Verified with
 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041006
MultiZilla/1.6.2.0c

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
(visit the above example)
Actual Results:  
the hr is (by default) aligned centered

Expected Results:  
if should be aligned left, like specified in the stylesheet

    This property describes how /text/ is aligned /within/ the element.

You can align hr elements with margins, like any other block, so in this case
you're looking for #validators hr { margin-left: 0; }
