Code won't work, possible bug?

I think there may be a bug in this lesson. I am copying the code correctly and there are no changes made to the site.

My HTML... </header> <div id="primary-content"> <p> Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation. </p>

My CSS... #primary-content { border: 3px solid red; }

#main-footer { padding-top: 60px; padding-bottom: 60px; border-bottom: solid 10px orange; }

When the CSS is written there is a red box around #primary-content and #main-footer. Any ideas? I've been stuck and even in the next part of the lesson there are the red boxes and no changes are made to the site, even though i'm using the correct code.

Sure thing!

  <h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>
  <p>
    Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
  </p>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">South Lake Tahoe Resorts</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Tahoe Ski Resort Lodging</a></li>
  </ul>         
  <h3>Pack Accordingly</h3>
  <p>
    One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips:
  </p>
  <ol>
    <li>Bring layers of clothing</li>
    <li>Pack sunscreen</li>
    <li>Carry extra water just in case</li>
    <li>Pack light</li>
  </ol>
    </div>

    <footer id="main-footer">
        <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
        <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>

</body> </html>

Possibly a bug, I'm not able to duplicate the same error, unless you left something out. Run your code on http://jsfiddle.net and see if the same error happens.
