To get it to work the way you intend it, you need to position
#containingbox as well. Use position:relative with no other offset.
All you're doing here is effectively providing an anchor, an origin,
for #disco, and not actually moving #containingbox anywhere.
#containingbox{
position:relative; /* to provide an origin for #disco */
border: 1px solid #666;
background-color: fff;
color: 000;
width: 500px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px auto;
text-align: justify;
}
