footer element
If you don't know what an element is or how you must use it, I recommend you read the "HTML tags and attributes" tutorial that you can find in the HTML tutorials section.
Table of contents
Description
The footer
element contains the footer of a section or document, where authors usually place signatures, author's information, copyright data, related documents, etc. In many cases, the contents of a document's footer are consistent sitewide.
Examples
In the next example a footer
element is used to provide navigational links and contact information abour the document's author (contained by an address
element).
<h1>The Bloody Mary</h1>
<p>To make a perfect Boody Mary you definitely need to get your hans dirty...</p>
<footer>
<address>
Jhonny Doe<br>
jhonnydoe5468@mypc.com
</address>
<ul>
<li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/food">Food</a></li>
<li><a href="/drinks">Drinks</a></li>
</ul>
</footer>
Now, the footer
element provides copyright information for the article
containing it.
<article>
<h1>The stranger</h1>
<p>"Enough!" said the little man, as he woke from his wrecked chair...</p>
