I wonder if its possible to keep child elements from being animated. like in the following example: ( http://jsfiddle.net/JsfMF/6/ ) 

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>test</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
     function fade(){
     $('#fadethis').animate({opacity: 0}, 500).show('#nogoaway');
     };
</script>
</head>

<body>

    <div id ="fadethis">
        <p> I should go away </p>
        <p id="nogoaway">hi im not supposed to be animated</p>
    </div>
    <button id="fade" onClick="fade()">fade!</button>
</body>
</html>

Thanks a lot!

    Probably not: HTML is structured around a tree of boxes; if you animate the parent, the children will get dragged along.

    However, you could simulate this by having a parent that contains both your parent and the children. The positioning and using the z axis will let you get the effect you want.
