check your css links, selectors, etc. It sounds like it's not being sent to the browser at all, which would indicate either your selector you are using is not working, or your entire style sheet isn't loading.

Can you see your stylesheet in the inspector, and is there code when you expand it?

What is div tag, and what selector are you using in the css?

Is this site live so that we can see?

Otherwise, maybe try setting up just the basics in a codepen and codepen.io and see if you have the same problem there, than you can save and share that codepen link here.
