 * Hi,
 * I’m not sure if this is even possible with this plugin. I’m trying to apply an
   animation on hover that only affects one element within a div.
 * Eg.
 * <div id=”hover-on-this-element”>
    <h2>Want this to stay the same</h2> <div id
   =”animate-this-element-only”>Want this element animated when the main containing
   div is hovered over</div> </div>
 * Please note, this isn’t the code I’m using it’s just to illustrate the structure–
   if that makes sense?
 * Apologies if this is a newbie question!
 * Thanks in advance, Brian

 * Dear Pedley,
 * I am afraid this kids of situation won’t be possible using the Animate It!
    However,
   I believe this can be done by adding some custom CSS.
 * Could you please explain the situation a bit more. If possible, please share 
   the link to the page as well.
