Positioning a div at the bottom of a fixed size container

Question

I am having trouble finding a way to position a div at the bottom of the container.

What I tried:

position:absolute;
bottom:10px;

But it displays the div I need at the bottom, outside the container in which I need it in...

I appreciate any help in this regard.

Heres the jsfiddle showing the example:

Set the container to position: relative and make sure that the <div> you are trying to position at the bottom of the container is nested inside the container.

All you need to do is add the rule position: relative to the containing div.
