Div not showing

[n3wb]

Transitioning from flash web design to html/css so go easy on me its probably something stupid.
Can't find an answer on w3schools or google so i come here for your words of wisdom.

html

<div class="stretch"> </div>

css

.stretch
{
	top:0px;
	left:0px;
	background-color:#123456;
	
	width:100%;
}

The div only shows when there is text in it, is there a way to just have a coloured box ?

Give it a height value
