    Hi, i need to position a div where absolute refers to its containing div

    <div id="1">
    <div id="2">
    blahblahblah
    </div>
    blahblahblah
    </div>

    div 2 position: absolute
    left: 20px;
    top: 20px;
    will be 20 px from the top od div 1....

    i dont know how to do it, but i know it has something to do with parent containers...


    thanks in advance

    position:relative on the parent element.
