Time to live of attributes - Need an explanation

using the example from course <html> <body> text a <hr width="10%" align="right" />text b </body> </html> Why is "a" centered and "b" not; they are both in the same paragraph (with the same attribute). for hr I can understand that the attribute center is overwritten, but afterwards closed again

Because <hr> elements are not supposed to be inside a element, browsers considers that it's not a valid code and try to correct it as: text a <hr width="10%" align="right"> text b ... 'losing' attributes of 'first' paragraph ^^ ( logical: for the browser, there's one ending missing related to the , and one missing related to the orphan , the <hr> between implicitly meaning that no relation exists between the two paragraphs ;) ) ( deprecated attributes otherwise, needed to be replaced with css styles )
