Results are only visible when the child is larger than the parent overflow:hidden element is applied to (or when the position of the child partially falls outside the parent). So in your example you don't see any difference, because the child img and the parent #he both have the same width (70px).
Take a look at this update ( #he width changes to 30px): http://jsfiddle.net/TKb6M/10/
