negative position an image

[riskmod]

ok I have a page center using a wrapper so the page is centered:

.....what I want to do is have an small image float outside (in the gray) the center div/page and if it expands it follows the center div(main page).....how can you do that? I tried negative positioning with floating but to no avail.

The 'parent container' is "position:relative;" and the image inside of is "position:negative; left:-foopx; top:foopx;" whereby "foo" is the amount of position, esp. the 'negative positioning' which moves this 'out of the document flow' object 'out of the parent container'.

A valid !doctype, and this, works nicely:

<div style="width:550px; height:460px; border:3px double black; background-color:silver; margin:10px auto; padding:20px 20px 20px 50px; position:relative;">

<p>This is the main contant container</p>

<img alt="one" src="#" style="width:100px; height:200px; position:absolute; left:-85px; top:25px; background-color:red;" />
<img alt="two" src="#" style="width:150px; height:200px; position:absolute; left:-45px; top:65px; background-color:wheat;" />
<img alt="three" src="#" style="width:150px; height:300px; position:absolute; left:-65px; top:145px; background-color:yellow;" />


</div>
