The key is moving your reference point for the absolute positioning. By default the browser uses the BODY element (which you've used). But by positioning an ancestor element (even "position:relative" with no movement) you can make it the new reference point for absolute positioning for all its decedents. In short, give your container "position:relative" and its contents can now be absolutely positioned with respect to it instead of BODY. P.S. Be careful to use absolute positioning sparingly in your layouts. Floats work better for varying amounts of content and dealing with user font-size changes.
