For some reason, I can’t get a div to display. When this happens, it’s usually a stupid typo, but I searched for 10 minutes, rewrote the entire css file, and searched another 20 minutes, and I can’t find anything like that. I’ve got a div that’s centered, and another div inside that. The parent shows up fine, but the child inside it doesn’t. Here’s my CSS:

*{
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
}
#chartBox {
    width: 510px;
    height: 510px;
    background: #FFFF00;
    margin: 20px auto 0px auto;
}

#11 {
    display: inline-block;
    border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    background: #000000;
}

And my HTML body (just link to css and title outside the body):

<body>
    <div id="chartBox">
        <div id="11">

        </div>
    </div>
</body>

If I enter text in 11, the text shows up in the corner of chartBox, but the div’s background and border don’t show up.

    ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens (“-”), underscores (“_”), colons (“:”), and periods (“.”).

    You can’t use only numbers in div like “11”. Rename it to “div11”.
