Smells Like Bakin' Intro Problem

As far as I can tell I have this written correctly but on the webpage it displays the headline with a line under it as though it were part of the Browse Our Cupcakes button.

    <div id="intro" class="grid_9">
     <h1>Opposites really do attract, especially in our kitchen!  We combine unexpected flavors that melt together to create ironically delicious desserts.</h1>
     <p><a href="#" class="btn">Browse Our Cupcakes</a></p>
    </div>

Do you have any unclosed anchor tags above it? Perhaps one of the navigation links?

That is exactly what I have. Do you have any CSS that might be causing it?

No it's been like that since I first did it the HTML before I even got to the CSS section. Doesn't make any sense to me! I'm using notepad++ I don't know if that is part of the reason...?

Alright! You got it! There was indeed one unclosed that I missed! Thanks!

Thank you thank you thank you. I had the same problem -was making me crazy! turns out all my nav tags were unclosed! good to know that any unclosed anchor tags will make all following text act like links until the next anchor closing tag. I wouldn't have guessed it and since all the nav links seemed to be doing what they were supposed to, I wasn't looking for errors there...
