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.
