It's more complicated than that. CSS lets you alter the display properties of elements, but doesn't cause elements to be displayed. If you want a uniform header, define a div.header in your stylesheet for it, and put all the crap that goes in your header at the top of every page.

Maybe there is some better way, but I don't know what it is.
