Use CSS
depending on where you want the line;
border-bottom: 3px solid black;
or border-left, border-right, border-top ... and of course black in my example can be any colour, even a RGB, just use the #000
I'm guessing your using tables, so something like this:
.bottomborder { border-bottom: 3px solid black; }
....
cell one
cell two
cell three no border bottom
cell four no border bottom
<?bhb if(broken){ echo("It wasn't me
"); } ?>

In my experience, if you use cells or dive blocks and you assign a height lesser than you're default font size, it won't go that low... So if you want a 3px block for example, assign on it's CSS a font size lesser than 3px...

Dreamweaver automatically puts a non-breaking space - - in the cell. Delete that, and you'll probably be fine.

Correct, but some browsers require you to have something in that cell. I have a 1x1 px gif that I use for that.
Save & use this: http://www.pr0gr4mm3r.com/images/spacer.gif

I believe it was IE. It was a while ago when I discovered that, so it may have been corrected in recent versions. When a cell's content was empty, it didn't show the cell at all. Since " " made the cell as high as the font size, I used the 1 px gif.

You still specify with width & height in the cell properties, so yes.

well as I said, without using an image for spacers, use smaller font sizes inside the div cell...

But be aware that some of us set a minimum font size in our browsers that would override your font-size declaration.
Back to the 1990s and spacer GIFs , methinks.

you have a point there, but when the font controls are increased, if purely for design purposes the page elements should increase with it with the fonts in this method... or you can use nested divs, with the smaller div inside... just a thought...

@demonhale:
But I'm not talking about "when the font controls are increased" - I'm talking about the minimum font size setting. See this article about the effect it has.

Wow. That's scary (but true). I think demonhale is trying to angle this person towards just using a div (although that might not always be the best thing to do). Although the number of people that have minimum font size set are few and I doubt the page will be unusable for those people if the font size were a little larger than 3px. Also, wasn't it Netscape Navigator 4 that required something be in the table cell?
My suggestion: test it with nothing in the cell (making sure the is removed) in all modern browsers, if it works don't worry about the spacer.gif
