If your goal is to put vertical lines in a container to separate side-by-side child elements  column elements   you could consider styling the container like this    container  gt    not  first-child      border-left  solid gray 2px      This adds a left border to all child elements starting from the 2nd child  In other words  you get vertical borders between adjacent children     gt  is a child selector  It matches any child of the element s  specified on the left    is a universal selector  It matches an element of any type   not  first-child  means it s not the first child of its parent    Browser support       first-child and  not    I think this is better than a simple  child-except-first  border-left       rule  because it makes more sense to have the vertical lines come from the container s rules  not the different child elements  rules   Whether this is better than using a makeshift vertical rule element  by styling a horizontal rule  etc   will depend on your use case  but this is an alternative at least

You can use an empty  lt div gt  that is styled exactly like you want the line to appear   HTML    lt div class  vertical-line  gt  lt  div gt    With exact height  overriding style in-line     x000D   x000D    div vertical-line  x000D        width  1px     Line width    x000D        background-color  black     Line color    x000D        height  100      Override in-line if you want specific height     x000D        float  left     Causes the line to float to left of content   x000D          You can instead use position absolute or display inline-block x000D          if this fits better with your design    x000D        x000D   lt div class  vertical-line  style  height  45px   gt  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Style the border if you want 3D look    x000D   x000D      div vertical-line  x000D        width  0px     Use only border style    x000D        height  100   x000D        float  left   x000D        border  1px inset     This is default border style for  lt hr gt  tag    x000D        x000D      lt div class  vertical-line  style  height  45px   gt  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    You can of course also experiment with advanced combinations    x000D   x000D    div vertical-line  x000D        width  1px  x000D        background-color  silver  x000D        height  100   x000D        float  left  x000D        border  2px ridge silver   x000D        border-radius  2px  x000D        x000D    lt div class  vertical-line  style  height  45px   gt  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

There is no vertical equivalent to the  lt hr gt  element  However  one approach you may want to try is to use a simple border to the left or right of whatever you are separating    x000D   x000D   your col   x000D    border-left  1px solid black  x000D    x000D   lt div id  your col  gt  x000D    Your content here x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

One other option is to use a 1-pixel image  and set the height - this option would allow you to float it to where you need to be   Not the most elegant solution though

User · Answer

One more approach is possible   Using SVG   eg      lt svg height  210  width  500  gt       lt line x1  0  y1  0  x2  0  y2  100  style  stroke rgb 255 0 0  stroke-width 2    gt        Sorry  your browser does not support inline SVG   lt  svg gt    Pros      You can have line of any length and orientation  You can specify the width  color easily    Cons     SVG are now supported on most modern browsers  But some old browsers  like IE 8 and older  don t support it

To add a vertical line you need to style an hr   Now when you make a vertical line it will appear in the middle of the page    lt hr style  width 0 5px height 500px    gt    Now to put it where you want you can use this code    lt hr style  width 0 5px height 500px margin-left -500px margin-right 500px    gt    This will position it to the left  you can inverse it to position it to the right
