How to overlay one div over another div

Question

I need assistance with overlaying one individual div over another individual div.

My code looks like this:

Answer 1

I am not much of a coder nor an expert in CSS, but I am still using your idea in my web designs. I have tried different resolutions too:

#wrapper {
  margin: 0 auto;
  width: 901px;
  height: 100%;
  background-color: #f7f7f7;
  background-image: url(images/wrapperback.gif);
  color: #000;
}
#header {
  float: left;
  width: 100.00%;
  height: 122px;
  background-color: #00314e;
  background-image: url(images/header.jpg);
  color: #fff;
}
#menu {
  float: left;
  padding-top: 20px;
  margin-left: 495px;
  width: 390px;
  color: #f1f1f1;
}

  

    

      menu will go here
    
  

Of course there will be a wrapper around both of them. You can control the location of the menu div which will be displayed within the header div with left margins and top positions. You can also set the div menu to float right if you like.
