## Adding Buttons to Headers/Footers

Buttons can be added to headers/footers, and their styles are set based on the header/footer, so you don't need to add extra styles for the buttons.

<div class="bar bar-header"> <button class="button icon ion-navicon"></button> <h1 class="title">Header Buttons</h1> <button class="button">Edit</button> </div>

The `button-clear` class can set header/footer buttons with no background and borders.

<div class="bar bar-header"> <button class="button button-icon icon ion-navicon"></button> <div class="h1 title">Header Buttons</div> <button class="button button-clear button-positive">Edit</button> </div>
