header Summary

The header element (<header>) represents the header of a section: a group of introductory or navigational aids.

Overview Table
DOM Interface
HTMLElement

The header element represents introductory content for its nearest ancestor sectioning content (article aside nav section) or sectioning root element (blockquote body fieldset figure td).

A header element is intended to usually contain the section’s heading (an h1–h6 element or an hgroup element), but this is not required. The header element can also be used to wrap a section’s table of contents, a search form, or any relevant logos.

Examples

The following snippet shows how the element can be used to mark up a specification’s header


<header>

</header>

In this example, the page has a page heading given by the h1 element, and two subsections whose headings are given by h2 elements. The content after the header element is still part of the last subsection started in the header element, because the header element doesn’t take part in the outline algorithm

Notes Remarks

Windows Internet Explorer 9. The header element is only supported for webpages displayed in IE9 Standards mode. For more information, see Defining Document Compatibility. A header element can contain the section’s heading (an h1-h6 element or an hgroup element) but this is not required. The header element can also be used to wrap a section’s table of contents, a search form, or any relevant logos. The header element is not sectioning content; it does not introduce a new section.
