CSS Positioning

I'm developing a system of html elements positioning according to their
coordinates. Let's say the browser window is a form and elements are
controls:
Everything was cool until I started developing a container for the element.
The problem is that if I use <DIV> as a container positioning is not working
as I expect. So the question is how one can position elements inside the
absolutely positioned element
<html>
<style type="text/css">
..first {
  position: absolute;
  top: 100px;
  left: 100px;
}
..second {
  position: absolute;
  top: 100px;
  left: 300px;
}
..third {
  position: absolute;
  top: 10px;
  left: 10px;
}
</style>
<body>
<div class="first">
  <div class="third">
  </div>
</div>
<div class="second">
  <div class="third">
  </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

 Is not working as expected.
