In a WordPress theme, only show an element on the first page

I just had a colleague shoot me a quick question– he had a flash animated header that he wanted to only show up on the home page, so he wanted to know how he could keep it in the header, but only have it show up on that home page. Without further ado, here’s the code:

<?php if (is_home()) : ?>
<!-- Content to only show on the home page -->
<?php endif; ?>
