The little known and underappreciated HTML Header element

by Tim Cull

I happened across an HTML element I didn’t know existed today. The ‘header‘, which is not to be confused with the ‘head‘ element, is a section of the HTML body that can contain, you guessed it, header information like a table of contents or some titles. It’s been supported by browsers for ages, including IE6.

I just figured I’d post something about this under-appreciated element here to boost its Google recognition a smidgen and separate it from its better-known, more-popular-at-parties cousin: the ‘head’.
