Floating Div Over An Image

by

Never fails, once I post the question to SO, I get some enlightening “aha” moment and figure it out. The solution:

    .container {
       border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
       width: 200px;
       height: 200px;
       position: relative;
    }
    .tag {
       float: left;
       position: absolute;
       left: 0px;
       top: 0px;
       z-index: 1000;
       background-color: #92AD40;
       padding: 5px;
       color: #FFFFFF;
       font-weight: bold;
    }
<div class="container">
       <div class="tag">Featured</div>
       <img src="http://www.placehold.it/200x200">
</div>

The key is the container has to be positioned relative and the tag positioned absolute.
