<b>CSS</b> is your answer. This is a <i>border</i> property with a value of <i>dotted</i>.

Asuming that you what to do it in fireworks its very easy

1. Create a rectangle
2. Resize it to for example 200 Height by 1Width
3. Make the colour black
3. Add the texture Line-Horiz 3 and change the percentage to 100% (or line-Vert 3 for horizontal line)
4. Add a filter &gt; Adjust Color &gt; Color Fill to the colour you wish your dotted line to be
5. Change the blend mode to screen

Voila
