leaflet.js map is not showing up

I am a newbie to leaflet.js. Can anyone help me with debugging the following code? I am trying to show a map on screen but only zoom-in and zoom-out button shows up on Google Chrome and the map screen is empty.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet/v0.7.7/leaflet.css" />
        <style>
            #mapid { height: 180px; }
        </style>
    </head>

    <body>
        <div id="mapid"></div>
        <script src="http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet/v0.7.7/leaflet.js"></script>
        <script>
            var mymap = L.map('mapid').setView([51.505, -0.09], 13);
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

Here is your corrected code: http://plnkr.co/edit/E7dw2AuNbLneYpz51Qdi?p=preview

There is no tile provider in your code, so nothing is showing in your map.

Check out the source of http://leafletjs.com/examples/quick-start-example.html

var mymap = L.map('mapid').setView([51.505, -0.09], 13);

L.tileLayer('https://api.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/{id}/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoibWFwYm94IiwiYSI6ImNpandmbXliNDBjZWd2M2x6bDk3c2ZtOTkifQ._QA7i5Mpkd_m30IGElHziw', {
    maxZoom: 18,
    attribution: 'Map data &copy; <a href="http://openstreetmap.org">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors, ' +
                 '<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">CC-BY-SA</a>, ' +
                 'Imagery © <a href="http://mapbox.com">Mapbox</a>',
    id: 'mapbox.streets'
}).addTo(mymap);

If you don't want tiles from mapbox, you can use openstreet map

L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
    attribution: '&copy; <a href="http://osm.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
}).addTo(mymap);
