XUL:separator

From MDC

« XUL Reference home    [ Examples | Attributes | Properties | Methods | Related ]

Creates a small separating gap between elements. This type of separator should be used to separate parts of a dialog. It doesn't draw a bar visually, but is just a small space. It is functionally equivalent to a spacer except it defaults to a small size (usually 1.5 ems).
