Example

The following example adds a horizontal line to the active document and then formats the color, size, width, and alignment of the line.

Sub InsertLineBefore(ByRef objDoc As FPHTMLDocument, _
        ByRef strColor As String, ByRef strSize As String, _
        bByRef strWidth As String, ByRef strAlign As String)
    Dim objElement As IHTMLElement
    Dim intLines As Integer
    Dim strID As String
    Dim objLine As FPHTMLHRElement
    
    intLines = objDoc.all.tags("hr").Length
    strID = "Line" & intLines
    
    Set objElement = objDoc.activeElement
    objElement.insertAdjacentHTML where:="beforebegin", _
        HTML:="<HR id=""" & strID & """>"
    
    Set objLine = objDoc.body.all.tags("hr").Item(CVar(strID))
    
    With objLine
        .Color = strColor
        .Size = strSize
        .Width = strWidth
        .Align = strAlign
    End With
End Sub
