  I am using the <hr> tag in the text widget and trying to change the color of the line to suit the Tarski theme –
  the color attribute seems to be ignored and deleted by the widget – is it not supported?

  if not, any other way to get a light grey line across the text widget?

  thanks

  Yes, an Internet search found this code for me several days ago. So, here you go.

  <div align=”center”>
  <hr color=”#dddddd” size=”1″ width=”60%” />

  No only can you specify color, you can control thickness [size], width, and position using div align.

  This will give you what you want.

  thanks jalexartis,

  unfortunately everything works – apart from the color…

  after saving the changes, and checking the blog, if I go back to look at the code in the widget, this is now how it appears:

  <div align=”center”>
  <hr size=”1″ width=”60%” /></div>

  color has been removed by the programme…

  Sorry, you can determine if it is theme related by selecting a different theme [DO NOT ACTIVATE] and see what the results are. It works for me with the Vigilance theme and In Microsoft’s Windows Live Writer. WordPress is not eating my color statement. Good luck! –jim

  One way to do it:
  <div style="border-bottom:1px solid #cdcdcd;"></div>
