Codepen is finicky especially with CSS.

I'd suggest grabbing Sublime Text 2 and doing your coding locally or check out Codio.com, my favorite.

Codepen has code it "assumes" should be there and doesn't play well with some of the fancier CSS and JS features.

For example, you can't use stylesheets or JS over CDN most of the time (works randomly).
