Anyone know how I can control the vertical spacing of an <hr> tag? I've tried every combination of border, padding and margin, but none of them seem to be able to get rid of the default padding (which is rather large)

What exactly do you want to achieve?
Something like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>...</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
line 1
<HR style="margin-top:-8px; color:red">
line2
<HR style=" color
range">
line3
<HR>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Hope this helps. If not, then tell us what you exactly want.

Look at it from different angle. It might now be the problem of HR tag, but P or TABLE or DIV on top or bottom of it.
instead of
<hr style="margin-top: -8px;" />
<p>here</p>
try
<hr>
<p style="margin-top: -4px;">here</p>
hope this helps. it's all about the angles.

Hmm, it's almost there, the thing is when I get it working and looking ok in ie, it looks completely messed up in Opera. It seems that ie wrongly adds a default border, but Opera does not.
That way if you try and set margin-top to a negative value (for either the hr itself or for a following component, while it looks ok in ie, in Opera, the text ends up being *ontop* of the hr.

Yep...but I think blekrok's idea would work, too.
<hr style="line-height:85%;color:red;height:5px">
or
<hr style="margin-top:-10px;margin-bottom:-10px;color:blue;height:5px">
I've noticed sometimes that the margin:-10px won't work by itself...but the margin-top and margin-bottom together does.
Let us know what happened...

Actually, that doesn't work either...heh heh.
However, this does:
<style>
.line{width:100%;border-top:1 solid #ff0000;line-height:0%;font-size:1px;margin-top:1px}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="line"></div>
<div class="line"></div>
<div class="line"></div>
Adjust accordingly...
