# code in sidebar.php does not work

 * I would like a thin line (in my sidebar.php), a separation between the section‘
   about’,’links’, ‘pages’,..
    a simple line. but when I put the code in sidebar.
   php it does not work. <HR COLOR=blue> or <hr color=’blue’ width=’35%’> has no
   effect at all.
 * maybe it has something to do with the style.css?
    can someone point me in the
   right direction please. what am I doing wrong

 * A link to your site would help…

 * probably because your css has “hr { display:none }” in it.
 * P.S. If you did not know, that is not valid XHTML code. And LesBessant is correct,
   a link to your blog in your preferences will lead to more and quicker help.

 * sidebar.php is the one from default theme. [http://paste.uni.cc/7929](http://paste.uni.cc/7929)
   
   and so is style.css [http://paste.uni.cc/7928](http://paste.uni.cc/7928) I don’t
   see a hr { display:none } in it..
 * what do you mean, not the right code? 🙂
    it works in every .php outside my blog
   what is the xhtml code than that I need? does anyone know

   get it?
