Here's test copy of that page with what I'm *trying* to do. See commented div.
When that <hr> is generated by a js document.write, it won't validate.
If I just put a <hr> in the same place in the page (in that div, or
just in the body without that div existing, the <hr> page validates.

Sorry I didn't link *this* before.

Again, I want the <hr> to be js-generated so that it's not there when js
is disabled -- in that case it's not needed because the whole
quote-of-the-day section isn't rendered.
