can some one please help me with the HTML to create headers and footers on a website?

Thanks

[bla!!]

Do you mean like a frame on the top and bottom? Could you show an example of what you want on another webpage?

Headers and footers are generally something associated with text documents, not webpages.

well, what i want is my page to put another page at the top of the page as a header.

[bla!!]

ohh, that's called a frame.

Depending on what program you're using to develop the page, they have different WYSIWYG ways of doing it, but if you'd like the html code for it, take a look at any of the pages here.

i am not sure, take a shopping website for an example they have the same banner type thing thought the website that is what i am trying to do. do you know what i mean?

Yup. That came be done by making it an external file that is included in the HTML.
Like in ASP we write where in filename we give name of files. The file's HTML code is copied to that position as it is. So put an img tag in that file and include that file.

Similar approach exists in PHP and ASP.NET

In ASP.net we make a file with .ascx extension and its included by registering it as a control. In this case the code is not placed as it is and this page can even have a seperate script ( ASP.NET pages have a single script for the entire page)

It wont work on HTML pages. Its supported by ASP.
This is an ASP directive.
in ASP.net we have supposingly header.ascx then we first

<%@ Register TagPrefix="Abc" TagName="Header" Src="includes/header.ascx" %>

then in the body where we want to place the include file
<Abc:Header ID="myHeader" Runat="Server"/>
These work only on server side scripts like ASP, ASP.net, PHP, JSP etc. These are compiled before being displayed by the server. Like the forum is n PHP and if view the source you will see plain HTML. The PHP was compiled and all such directives converted to routine HTML.
