Gavin,

The issue you are having is a misunderstanding of positioning. If you want it to be "fixed" relative to the parent, then you really want your #fixed to be position:absolute which will update its position relative to the parent.

This question fully describes positioning types and how to use them effectively.

In summary, your CSS should be

#wrap{ 
    position:relative;
}
#fixed{ 
    position:absolute;
    top:30px;
    left:40px;
}
