| SAIL Design System guidance available for Header Content Layout
Give users a warm welcome to your page with the header content layout. Learn how to design your pages with two distinct zones to draw attention to any text or images that identify the purpose of the page or site. |
a!headerContentLayout( header, contents, showWhen, backgroundColor, contentsPadding, isHeaderFixed )
Displays any arrangement of layouts and components beneath a billboard or card header that is flush with the edge of the page. Similar to a form layout, this is a top-level layout and cannot be nested within other layouts. The header layout is ideal for landing pages and reports.
To add a header content layout to your interface from design mode, drag out either a CARD HEADER or BILLBOARD HEADER from the interface palette.

This example uses a fixed header within the header content layout. It displays the following interface.
Note that this pattern contains two empty a!cardLayout() components to help you see the scrolling behavior with a fixed header. These components have no other purpose.
See the SAIL Design System: Header Content Layout for more information on fixed headers.
Copy and paste this example into an interface object to experiment with it.
