Highlighted error. Not sure of the error?!

the #main-footer in my CSS is highlighted and I really don't know why. I have checked my work against the example and they look exactly the same. Please help me and tell me where I have gone wrong?

.t-border { border-top: 2px solid lightgrey; }

main-footer {

padding-top: 60px; padding-bottom: 60px; border-bottom: solid 10px orange; }

Here is my html:

<footer id="main-footer" class="t-border">

        <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
        <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>

</body> </html>

This is driving me nuts. Thank you!

Maybe some other code is responsible. This bit of code doesn't cause that effect.

It's always good to share the whole project. You can make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
