Header and Footer question says im wrong with the placement

The code challenge keeps saying Bummer, a section element needs to appear between the <body> </body> tags.

My code is like this but it still keeps saying that I'm wrong.

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <title> Mijn eerste website </title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
        </head>
  <body>
    <header> dfsfsdfsd </header>
    <footer> fdsfsdfsdfs </footer>   
  </body>
</html>

Hey Tom,

Have you tried adding a section element as indicated?

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Mijn eerste website</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
    </header>
    <section>
    </section>
    <footer>
    </footer>   
  </body>
</html>

Hi Jacob,

Thank you for your help, this works. Did not know that the section element was a must, also had a look on w3schools and there was nothing noticed about the section element.
