XML

<div style="top:10%;left:0%;background-color:red;width:20%;bottom:0%;position:absolute"></div>
    <div style="top:10%;left:20%;background-color:blue;width:80%;bottom:0%;position:absolute"></div>

this code works which I want.

but I want the whole thing inside a div(say,'midDiv').Then How to write the code?Actually I want,when I change the position of the 'midDiv',the inside design will be same with respect to the position.

Actually,when we set position='absolute',I think the position is set with respect to
the whole page.But I want to set left,right,bottom,etc position of the two divs(explained above) with respect to the div 'midDiv' as I want to put the two divs inside 'midDiv'.
If my problem is not understood even now please make me know.

Not clear. What whole thing? And embedding style in HTML elements is evil.

If I understood your problem correctly, then below code will work for you.

Style:

CSS

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
#midDiv
{
    position: relative;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    width: 500px;
    height: 250px;
    top: 100px;
    left: 200px;
}
#div1
{
    top:10%;
    left:0%;
    background-color:
    red;
    width:20%;
    bottom:0%;
    position: relative;
}
#div2
{
    top:10%;
    left:20%;
    background-color:
    blue;
    width:80%;
    bottom:0%;
    position: absolute;
}

HTML:

XML

<div id="midDiv">
    <div id="div1">Div1</div>
    <div id="div2">Div2</div>
</div>

Also I suggest not to use inline style as it is bad coding practice.
Happy Coding!
