HTML <header> tag is used as a container of introductory content or navigation links. Generally a <header> element contains one or more heading elements, logo or icons or author’s information.

You can use several <header> elements in one document, but a <header> element cannot be placed within a <footer>, <address> or another <header> element.


HTML Header Tag Example

 <header>
<h2>ABCOnline.com</h2>
<p> World’s no.1 shopping website</p>
</header>

Output:

ABCOnline.com

World’s no.1 shopping website
