Absolute positioning inside relative

I'm working with 100% width relative positioning, but need an absolute positioned child div or span to hold a jquery image slider.

Layout

------ width 100%-------

| img1 | slider | img2 |

Currently the slider span isn't being positioned inline like the other objects and overlapping

What I have so far:

Fiddle

HTML

<div class="pic_container">
    <img src="http://www.image-and-text.com/pictures/whiskey_with_ice.jpg">  
    <span class="viewer"> 
       <img src="http://images.printsplace.co.uk/Content/Images/Products/46576/43569/Image_of_M101_1.jpg" alt="" class="active" />
        <img src="http://i.bosity.com/clothes_cache/261/12002348/3480000011312473207_12002348_1_image.jpg" alt="" />
        <img src="http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/images/examples/image-6.jpg" alt="" />
    </span>
    <img src="http://www.image-and-text.com/pictures/whiskey_with_ice.jpg">
</div>

</div>

CSS 

/*slideshow*/

.viewer {
    font-size:0;
  display:inline;
}

.viewer IMG {
    position:absolute;

    z-index:8;
    width:50%;
  vertical-align:top;
}

.viewer IMG.active {
    z-index:10;
}

.viewer IMG.last-active {
    z-index:9;
}


/*pics*/

.pic_container{
    font-size:0;
    display:inline;

    }


 .pic_container img {

    width:25%;
  vertical-align:top;
 }

I've added a wrapper to the viewer and removed the extra spacing between your outer images and the slideshow viewer using the html comment tags (this is better than setting font-size:0). I've adjusted the JS, so that the transition works. I've also cleaned up and reduced the amount of CSS needed.

HTML

<div class="picture-container">
    <img src="http://www.image-and-text.com/pictures/whiskey_with_ice.jpg" /><!--
        --><div class="viewer">
        <img src="http://images.printsplace.co.uk/Content/Images/Products/46576/43569/Image_of_M101_1.jpg" class="active" />
        <img src="http://i.bosity.com/clothes_cache/261/12002348/3480000011312473207_12002348_1_image.jpg" />
        <img src="http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/images/examples/image-6.jpg" /> 
        </div><!--
    --><img src="http://www.image-and-text.com/pictures/whiskey_with_ice.jpg" />
</div>

CSS:

* {margin:0;padding:0}
.picture-container > img {display:inline-block;width:25%;}
.viewer {display:inline-block;position:relative;width:50%;vertical-align:top;}
.viewer img {position:absolute;width:100%;}

JS

function slideSwitch() {
  var transitionDuration = 1000;
    var active = $('.viewer img.active');
    var next = $('.viewer img:first').insertAfter(active);
    active.removeClass('active').fadeOut(transitionDuration);
    next.addClass('active').hide().fadeIn(transitionDuration);
}
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.viewer img.active').insertAfter('.viewer img:last');
    setInterval("slideSwitch()", 4000);
});

Hope this helps.

try to give pic_container position: relative; and try to give viewer display: inline-block; this might work. pic_container could may also be display: inline-block;

The following changes will solve your problem.

This is based on your code. You can tweak it to make it shorter.

HTML part:

<div class="pic_container">
     <div class="leftDiv">
        <img src="http://www.image-and-text.com/pictures/whiskey_with_ice.jpg">  
     </div><!--
  --><div class="viewerWrapper"><div class="viewer">
        <img src="http://images.printsplace.co.uk/Content/Images/Products/46576/43569/Image_of_M101_1.jpg" alt="" class="active" />
        <img src="http://i.bosity.com/clothes_cache/261/12002348/3480000011312473207_12002348_1_image.jpg" alt="" />
        <img src="http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/images/examples/image-6.jpg" alt="" />
     </div></div><!--
  --><div class="rightDiv">
        <img src="http://www.image-and-text.com/pictures/whiskey_with_ice.jpg">
     </div>
</div>

CSS Part:

.pic_container {
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    position:relative;
    }
.leftDiv {
    display:inline-block;
    width: 25%;
    position:relative;
}
.rightDiv {
    display:inline-block;
    width: 25%;
    position:relative;
}
.viewerWrapper {
    display:inline-block;
    width: 50%;
    position:relative;
    vertical-align: top;
}
.viewer {
    width:100%;
}
.leftDiv IMG, .rightDiv IMG, .viewer IMG {
    max-width: 100%;
}
.viewer IMG {
    z-index:8;
    position: absolute;
}
.viewer IMG.active {
    z-index:10;
}
.viewer IMG.last-active {
    z-index:9;
}
