GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English translation:(web) text bar / banner headline

German term or phrase: Balkenzeile
"Balkenzeile" is the term for a horizontal bar going across a page, in this case containing a heading. This is taken from a style guide, on a section describing the size of margins, fonts etc.

Can anyone think of a decent way of expressing "Balkenzeile", or - failing that - would "horizontal bar" be enough.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Many thanks

Ian

Explanation:
You said it yourself: the "Balkenzeile" contains a ***heading*** so here we go. I wouldn't be able to make a definite choice from the options given at the quoted URL, though.
