Is there an alternative to negative positioning in HTML emails? The image in the second table below is positioned `100px` up using negative positioning. I need that image to overlap somewhat with the content above.

```
<table>
    <tr>
        <td valign="top" width="400" style="padding-right:10px;">
            <p style="color:#575757;font-size:13px;line-height:19px;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Century Gothic'; text-align:justify;">Lorem Impsum</p>
        </td>
       <td><img src="kneeler.jpg" /></td>
    </tr>
</table>

<table>
    <tr>
        <td style="position:relative; top:-100px;"><img src="shoes.jpg" /></td>
        <td valign="top" width="400" style="padding-left:10px;">
            <p style="color:#575757;font-size:13px;line-height:19px;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Century Gothic'; text-align:justify;">Lorem ipsum</p>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

```

I've tried `padding-top: -100px;` but that did not work. Please help!
