I have multiple images within a div, I change thier positions using JQuery <pre class="prettyprint"><code>$("#"+carElem).css({"left": pos.left+50 +"px"}); </code></pre> Im using absolute positioning (relative positioning gives the same result), is it possible to cut off anything that is displayed outside of the parent div .i.e make sure its not shown?

Give the parent div the style <code>overflow: hidden</code> and go back to relative positioning (it won't work with absolute positioning). There's probably a better way to solve the actual underlying issue, though, if we had a bit more context. But <code>overflow: hidden</code> will probably be part of it regardless.

Add <code>overflow:hidden</code> to the parent div.
