How can place an element at the bottom of another element using CSS?

Question

Look at this: http://jsfiddle.net/unimous/88uqJ/

<div id="d1">
    <div id="d2">
</div>
</div>

#d1 {
    height: 3000px;
    background-color: red;
}

#d2 {
    background-color: green;
    height: 40px;
    width: 40px;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0px;
}

I want to make div d2 appear at the bottom of d1, not the bottom of the screen.

Why position: absolute doesn't work here?

tl;dr Add `#d1 { position:relative; }` – Wesley Murch Aug 19 '13 at 16:21 — Wesley Murch, Aug 19 '13 at 16:21

Add position:relative to your d1 div

jsFiddle example

Absolutely positioned elements are positioned with respect to their closest positioned ancestor.
