4. position: relative + absolute
If we set relative positioning on div-1, any elements within div-1 will be positioned relative to div-1. Then if we set absolute positioning on div-1a, we can move it to the top right of div-1:
#div-1 {
position:relative;
}
#div-1a {
position:absolute;
top:0;
right:0;
width:200px;
}

id = div-1
id = div-1a
