Represents the footer of a document or section.

HTML 5

<footer
   class = classname
   id = value
   style = css_style_rules
   title = text
>

NOTE: Both start and end tags are required.

The <footer> element represents a footer for a document or section.

A footer typically contains information about the author of the document or section, copyright data or links to related documents.

An example is the footer at the end of each page in this workshop.

The element can be used to define a global site footer or banner, which usually includes a logo, company or website name, contact information, and possibly a link to a sitemap, appendices, verbose license agreements, and other such content, and is generally located at the bottom of the page.

When used within sectioning content, a footer may contain footnotes, bylines or other brief information relevant to the parent section, and typically located at the end of the section.

The element can be styled using CSS for typographical effects, to separate it visually from the main content.

The <footer> element has no attribute of its own, but supports global attributes common to all HTML elements.

The following example shows how the <footer> element may be used.

<center>
<footer>
   <table cellpadding=10>
   <tr><td><a href="#about">About us...</a>
   <td><a href="#feedback">Send feedback!</a>
   <td><a href="#sitemap">Sitemap</a></tr>
   </table>
   <span>Copyright ©2025 The Smacker ~ <a href="#tos">Terms of Service</a></span>
</footer>
</center>
