>:( styling problem

[Alexâ„¢]

aaaaargh I’m really annoyed…
I just started work on my wordpress blog (finally) and no sooner had I inserted the header I was having to troubleshoot. It seems when I end my header div like so: <div id="header"></div> the header won’t show up, at all. if i end the div tag like this though ><div/> its shows up, but when I validated it it failed, so i changed the div tag end to the correct and it validated fine but didn’t show my header… bummer :shock:

Below is the code:
HTML

Code:

>

and

CSS

Code:

/*
Theme Name: Alex Rogahn
Theme URI: http://alexrogahn.com/
Description: Theme of Alex Rogahn’s personal blog
Version: 1.0
Author: Alex Rogahn
Author URI: http://alexrogahn.com/
*/

/* Global reset */
/* Based upon ‘reset.css’ in the Yahoo! User Interface Library: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui */
*, html, body, div, dl, dt, dd, ul, ol, li, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, pre, form, label, fieldset, input, p, blockquote, th, td { margin:0; padding:0 }
table { border-collapse:collapse; border-spacing:0 }
fieldset, img { border:0 }
address, caption, cite, code, dfn, em, strong, th, var { font-style:normal; font-weight:normal }
ol, ul, li { list-style:none }
caption, th { text-align:left }
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { font-size:100% }
q:before, q:after { content:”}
a { text-decoration:none }

/* Global reset-RESET */
/* The below restores some sensible defaults */
strong { font-weight:bold }
em { font-style:italic }
* a { position:relative } /* Gets links displaying over a PNG background */
a img { border:none } /* Gets rid of IE’s blue borders */

body {
background: #232323;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
}

#header {
background: url(images/header.png) repeat-x;
}

I’d really appreciate it if some one would help me out :P
