HTML <header> style Attribute

HTML <head>

HTML <hr>

A style attribute on a <header> tag assigns a unique style to the header.

Its value is CSS that defines the appearance of the header element.

Example

#

A style attribute on a <header> element.

Logo goes here...

<header style="background:#302ea3; color:white; padding:10px 20px;">
  Logo goes here...
</header>

Using style

#

The style attribute specifies the style, i.e. look and feel, of the <header> element.

A style contains any number of CSS property/value pairs, separated by semicolons (;).

The style attribute overrides any other style that was defined in a <style> tag or an external CSS file.

This inline styling affects the current <footer> element only.

Syntax

#

<header style="CSS-styles">

Values

#

Value	Description
CSS-styles	One or more CSS property/value pairs separated by semicolons (;).

More Examples

Clicking the button toggles the background color.

<header id="myheader" style="background:darkcyan; color:white; padding:10px 20px;">
  Logo goes here...
</header>

<br/>
<button type="button" onclick="toggle();">Toggle style</button>

<script>
  let toggle = () => {
    let element = document.getElementById("myheader");

    if (element.style.backgroundColor === "darkcyan") {
       element.style.backgroundColor = "#302ea3";
    } else {
       element.style.backgroundColor = "darkcyan";
    }
  }
</script>

Code explanation

The style attribute assigns a background color to the <header> element.

Clicking the button calls JavaScript that changes the background color.
