css – positioning an element absolutely *within* another element

This question goes to the css wizards. I\’ve googled this and couldn\’t find an answer.

At this point I\’m not sure it\’s possible:

How do I specify the position of an element within another element, semi-absolutely so to speak?

I want to say \”Put element inner x pixels to the right of outer\’s left border, no matter where outer happens to be at the moment.\”

This might be possible with javascript, but shouldn\’t it be possible with css?
