Am I wrong in my assumption about positioning?

Should this not start the absolutely positioned divs after div #1 despite the positioning being higher than div #1??

 

<div id="numone">1</div>
<div id="container" style="position:relative">
<div style="position:absolute;top:5">a</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:20">b</div>
</div>

Remember to use valid unit of measurement when you set the position of elements. I.e. PX, EM, %

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">

  <head>
    <title>My first Website</title>
  </head>

  <body>
    <div id="numone">1</div>
    <div id="container" style="position:relative;">
      <div style="position:absolute;top:5px;">a</div>
      <div style="position:absolute;top:55px;">b</div>
    </div>
  </body>

</html>
