how to position two divs above each over

Question

Is there any way to start drawing divs from the same point? That means if I add new div and then I add another div, they will appear above each other. Because I want to move them all together depending on the same point.

CSS:

#num1,#num2{     display : inline     position:relative;     left:50px; } 

HTML:

<div id='container'>     <div id='num1'></div>     <div id='num2'></div> </div> 

So what should I add to this code so when the browser render this code the 2 divs will be on the same place?

Answer 1

All statements regarding absolute positioning are correct. People failed to mention, however, that you need position: relative on the parent container.

#container {    position: relative;  }  #num1,  #num2 {    position: absolute;    left: 50px;  }

<div id='container'>    <div id='num1'>1</div>    <div id='num2'>2</div>  </div>

Depending on which element you want on top, you can apply z-indexes to your absolutely positioned divs. A higher z-index gives the element more importance, placing it on the top of the other elements:

#container {    position: relative;  }  #num1,  #num2 {    position: absolute;    left: 50px;  }  /* num2 will be on top of num1 */  #num1 {    z-index: 1;  }  #num2 {    z-index: 2;  }

<div id='container'>    <div id='num1'>1</div>    <div id='num2'>2</div>  </div>

Answer 2

Use z-index to position divs on top of one another:

So, you'll position the divs with absolute/relative positioning and then use z-index to layer them:
