Question

Can I position an image inside a div when it is not enclosed within the tag? What I’m asking is, if I had an image not in a div, could I use something like relative positioning to position it inside the div on the screen? (It would still be outside the div in the HTML).

Answer 1

Yes, this work with relative or absolute positioning:

#container{
    width:300px;
    height:300px;
    border:1px solid black;
}
#image{
    position:relative;
    top:-200px;
}
