This is my first time working properly with CSS. I’m trying to customize a divider that I’ve inserted into the content block in drupal. In styles.css (see link below) I have the following:

#cont-grey {
  background-color:: #393939;
  margin: 20px 30px 20px 30px
  width: 100%;
}

The block contents is:

<div id="cont-grey">
  <p> Hello </p>
<div>

I expect a divider to be printed that contains the word ‘Hello’ with a +20px margin above and below, and for ‘Hello’ to be printed 30px in (30px on right as well). The divider should be coloured #393939. I am not getting the output I expected. The divider does not appear to have any special formatting what-so-ever. Please check the page I am using for test purposes below.

Where am I going wrong? Is there a better way to do this?
