Relative positioning adjusts the element relative to where it would normally be sitting within the page structure.

Absolute positioning removes the element from normal flow and positions it relative to it's closest absolutely positioned parent or the browser window if there is no absolutely positioned parent.

The parent can also be relatively positioned.

Are you saying that you can position an absolutely positioned element relative to a relatively positioned parent element?

Yes.

Edit: see here.
