I have been using HTML4 for quite some time. I’ve heard of HTML5 for quite a while but never got around to reading the updated standard and it’s new tags. What I would like to know is if I put the header tag before the body tag (and after the head tag), will this be valid? I know that in HTML4 you required to use divs (for instance header and container) to separate the sections of the page.
Thanks!
No.
<header>-tags mark the header of arbitrary sections on your site. Don’t confuse them with the website’s<head>section that contains scripts, meta-tags, etc.<header>-tags belong into the<body>-tag. The basic structure of a<head>followed by a<body>has not changed in HTML5.http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/sections.html#the-header-element
