DIV position relative to DIV content without moving other stuff

[I'm not sure if this question was asked, although I did look around a bit.]

I have a DIV inside a DIV. I would like the inner DIV to have a specific position inside the outer div. I have some success with this

position: absolute; top: 0px;right:0px;

but all other divs move around. I just want it to be float

on top of other things (float didn't work of course).

Thanks!

Edit: The outer div is relative and I would like the inner to move with it when the browser resizes.

Edit: Sorry, I figured out the question (but not the answer): if I use: 0px correctly, the inner div stops moving relative to the outer div and starts moving relative to the browser window. Why would that be?

Use position: absolute

for inner element. If your outer element is relatively positioned as you say you can set the position based on the top left corner of the outer element.

If you apply relative positioning to the outer div

Then absolute positioning to the inner div, your inner div will be positioned relative to the outer div.



(top: 0; left: 0 will be somewhere to the left of our outer div.

<div>other Div</div>
<div style="position:relative;">
    <div style="position:absolute; top: 100px;">Abs Div</div>
</div>
