CSS DIV Margin-top

Question

I have a question about margin in CSS. I have a DIV element, which has an image for background. Inside that DIV I have another DIV. I want this DIV inside to be 200px from the top. But, when I do that, the outside DIV also moves down for 200px. Why is that and how to keep the outside DIV on top?
