<div class="vLine"></div>

To let the line to appear, use the border-left property −
.vLine { border-left: 6px solid rgb(128, 0, 128); height: 500px; margin-left: 5%; }

To create a vertical line with CSS, the code is as follows −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> .vLine { border-left: 6px solid rgb(128, 0, 128); height: 500px; margin-left: 5%; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Vertical Line Example<h1> <div class="vLine"></div> </body> </html>

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> .vLine { border-left: 6px solid red; height: 500px; left: 50%; position: absolute; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Vertical Line Example<h1> <div class="vLine"></div> </body> </html>
