my background color and underline won't change?

I have double checked everything I can think of and can't seem to figure why my background color and underline will not function after coding.

Can you share you code with us, so we could see if there is anything that needs to be fixed.

Can you post the code in question? Oftentimes when changes I've made aren't working it's because I've forgotten a semi-color or curly brace.

Your code would help us see better, but from that video this is what Nick has done

#wrapper {
     max-width: 940px;
     margin: 0 auto;
     padding: 0 5%;
     background: orange;
}

If this is what you have are you sure your saving the file? Are you misspelling anything? Your code would help us figure this out.
