Using style

#

The style attribute specifies the style, i.e. look and feel, of the <hr> element.

A style contains any number of CSS property/value pairs, separated by semicolons (;).

The style attribute overrides any other style that was defined in a <style> tag or an external CSS file.

This inline styling affects the current <hr> element only.

Syntax

#

<hr style="CSS-styles">

Values

#

Value	Description
CSS-styles	One or more CSS property/value pairs separated by semicolons (;).

    style="height: 5px;
           background: teal;
           margin: 20px 0;
           box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px 2px rgba(204,204,204,1);">

<br/>
<button onclick="toggle();">Toggle style</button>

<script>
  let toggle = () => {
    let element = document.getElementById("myhr");

    if (element.style.backgroundColor === "teal") {
       element.style.backgroundColor = "#4238ca";
    } else {
       element.style.backgroundColor = "teal";
    }
  }
</script>

Code explanation

The style attribute assigns a background color to the <hr> element.

Repeatedly clicking the button calls JavaScript which changes the background to another color.
