To generate vertical lines, you have the option to utilize the horizontal rule tag.

<hr width="1" size="500" style="0 auto" />

When employing a narrow width and substantial size, the horizontal rule transforms into a vertical line.

One method to create a vertical line in HTML is by using an empty <div> element styled to appear as a line:

HTML:

<div class="vertical-line"></div>

You can specify the exact height of the line by overriding inline styles:

  div.vertical-line{
      width: 1px; /* Line width */
      background-color: black; /* Line color */
      height: 100%; /* Override in-line if you want specific height. */
      float: left; /* Causes the line to float to left of content. 
        You can instead use position:absolute or display:inline-block
        if this fits better with your design */
    }

<div class="vertical-line" style="height: 45px;"></div>

To give the line a 3D effect, you can style it like a border:

    div.vertical-line{
      width: 0px; /* Use only border style */
      height: 100%;
      float: left; 
      border: 1px inset; /* This is default border style for <hr> tag */
    }

   <div class="vertical-line" style="height: 45px;"></div>

You can also get creative with different combinations for a more unique look:

  div.vertical-line{
      width: 1px;
      background-color: silver;
      height: 100%;
      float: left;
      border: 2px ridge silver ;
      border-radius: 2px;
    }

 <div class="vertical-line" style="height: 45px;"></div>

If you want to create a vertical line in HTML, you can use the horizontal line tag <hr /> but apply some CSS styling.

html, body{height: 100%;}

hr.vertical {
  width: 0px;
  height: 100%;
  /* or specify height in pixels */
}

<hr class="vertical" />

When it comes to creating a vertical separator on a webpage, you won't find an equivalent element to the <hr>. However, one workaround is to use a basic border on either the left or right side of the content you want to divide:

#your_col {
  border-left: 1px solid black;
}

<div id="your_col">
  Your content here
</div>

Creating Custom HTML Elements Using CSS Only

https://i.sstatic.net/JSHK5.png

1. Set up the styling in CSS

Define the style for your custom element.

.vertical-rule {
    height: 100%;
    width: 1px;
    border-left: 1px solid gray;
}

*Ensure to use a dash (-) in all custom elements' names.

2. Implementation in HTML

Add a vertical rule element using the following:

<div class="vertical-rule"></div>

*Adjust display properties if necessary to achieve desired layout.

Example Usage

 <h1>THIS<div class="vertical-rule"></div>WORKS</h1>

Avoid JavaScript Complexity

You can achieve this effect by simply applying a CSS class to your designated HTML element.

CSS Styling

.vertical-rule {
    height: 100%;
    width: 1px;
    border-left: 1px solid gray;
}

*Refer to previous notes for guidance on fine-tuning the appearance of the vertical rule.

Another possibility is incorporating a 1-pixel image and adjusting the height - this approach permits floating it to the desired location.

However, this method may not be the most aesthetically pleasing solution.

To create a vertical line, you can easily specify the height and width of an html element.

#vertical-rule {
  width: 1px;
  min-height: 450px;
  background: blue;
}

<div id="vertical-rule"></div>

How to rotate an <hr> element by 90 degrees:

<hr style="width:100px; transform:rotate(90deg);">

When it comes to creating horizontal lines in HTML, the <hr> tag is a useful tool that can be styled with CSS for customization:

.divider{
    margin-left: 5px;
    margin-right: 5px;
    height: 100px;
    width: 1px;
    background-color: red;
}

<hr class="divider">

The thickness, length, and color of the line are determined by the width, height, and background-color properties respectively.

In HTML, there is no built-in tag specifically for creating a vertical line.

1. One method involves loading a line image and setting its style to something like "height: 100px ; width: 2px".

2. Another method is using the <td> tags with inline styling, such as

   <td style="border-left: 1px solid red; padding: 5px;"> X </td>

   .

If you're looking to create a perfectly centered vertical line within a div, the following code snippet might be helpful. The 'container' is assumed to have a width of 100%.

div.container {
  width: 400px;
}

div.vertical-line {
  border-left: 1px solid #808080;
  height: 350px;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  width: 1px;
}

<div class="container">
  <div class="vertical-line">&nbsp;</div>
</div>

To create a horizontal line using the hr tag and then rotate it 90 degrees with CSS, you can use the following code snippet:

hr {   
    transform:rotate(90deg);
    -o-transform:rotate(90deg);
    -moz-transform:rotate(90deg);
    -webkit-transform:rotate(90deg);
}

Another viable option is to utilize SVG for this task.

For example:

<svg height="210" width="500">
    <line x1="0" y1="0" x2="0" y2="100" style="stroke:rgb(255,0,0);stroke-width:2" />
      Unfortunately, inline SVG is not supported on your current browser.
</svg>

Advantages :

• You have the flexibility to create lines of any length and orientation.
• Easily specify the width and color of the line.

Disadvantages :

• While SVG is now widely supported on modern browsers, older browsers (such as IE 8 and earlier) may not support it.

For my webpage, I decided to utilize a combination of the suggested "hr" code with some modifications. Here is how I adapted it:

<hr style="width:0.5px; height:500px; position: absolute; left: 315px;"/>

To achieve the desired positioning, I specifically adjusted the pixel value for the "left" property. Initially, I utilized this vertical line as a content alignment tool on my page before eventually removing it altogether.

Adding a vertical line to the right side of the div

    <div style="width:50%">
        <div style="border-right:1px solid;">
            <ul>
                <li>
                    A blank div won't display the line
                </li>
                <li>
                    The length of the vertical line depends on the content within the div
                </li>
                <li>
                    I am using inline styles here, but you can also use external or internal styles.
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
  

Introducing a vertical line to the left side of the div

    <div style="width:50%">
        <div style="border-left:1px solid;">
            <ul>
                <li>
                    A empty div does not show the line
                </li>
                <li>
                    The length of the vertical line depends on the content within the div
                </li>
                <li>
                    Here I'm using inline styles, but you could switch to external or internal styles.
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
  

If we were to utilize |, the HTML special character representing |

If you are looking to add vertical lines within a container to separate child elements arranged side by side (column elements), one approach is to style the container in this way:

.container > *:not(:first-child) {
  border-left: solid gray 2px;
}

This code snippet will apply a left border to all child elements except for the first one, creating vertical borders between adjacent children.

• > serves as a child selector that targets any child of the specified element(s).
• * functions as a universal selector, matching elements of any type.
• :not(:first-child) ensures that the style is only applied to child elements that are not the first ones within their parent.

To check browser compatibility with these CSS selectors, refer to :first-child and :not().

In comparison to applying a simple rule like

.child-except-first {border-left: ...}

When deciding between this method or utilizing a makeshift vertical rule element (such as styling a horizontal rule), consider your specific requirements for the project - this technique provides an alternative solution to explore.

In order to add a vertical line, you will need to style an hr element.

Once you have created the vertical line, it will be displayed in the center of the page:

<hr style="width:0.5px;height:500px;"/>

If you want to position the vertical line where you choose, you can use the following code snippet:

<hr style="width:0.5px;height:500px;margin-left:-500px;margin-right:500px;"/>

By using this code, the vertical line will be positioned to the left, but you can adjust it to the right if needed.

If you're looking to add a vertical line after a specific element, you can achieve this using CSS ...

border-right-width: thin;
border-right-color: black; 
border-right-style: solid;

To easily insert a vertical bar in your text, you can make use of one of the UTF-8 Miscellaneous Symbols available.

It's a simple solution that works across all browsers without any issues.

Feel free to thank me afterwards!

I decided to go with an inline style approach and applied the following code:

<div style="border-left:1px black solid; position:absolute; left:50%; height:300px;" />

With this code, the element was perfectly centered on the page.

I wanted to create a vertical line inline, so I came up with a clever hack using a button.

<button type="button" class="v_line">l</button>

.v_line {
         width: 0px;
         padding: .5em .5px;
         background-color: black;
         margin: 0px 4px;
        }

There is an easy solution to avoid doing any additional work. Simply adjust the border on the left or right as needed.

.vertical-line{
border-left:1px solid #000

}

<span class="vertical-line"></span

Another option is to utilize the HTML symbol |, which will display as '|'
