It is used to define a footer for a document or section. Usually includes information about the author, copyright, contact, sitemap, links to related documents, etc.
Can be repeated within the same document but cannot be used within <header>
, <address>
or another <footer>
.
If it contains information about the author, this should be inside an <address>
that in turn goes inside the <footer>
.
It does not contribute to the outline of the document.
It has an implicit ARIA role contentinfo
, or none if it is a descendant of an <article>
, <aside>
, <main>
, <nav>
or <section>
or of an element with role article
, complementary
, main
, navigation
or region
.
To maintain compatibility with older browsers you can use the redundant formula of <footer role="contentinfo">
.
- Type: block
- Self-closing: No
