Descendant question?

In the video Transition part 2, one chunk of the css code is

.wrap:hover .box{ background: #F08080; margin-left: 75%; }

which allows the .box div to move around when hovering inside the .wrap element. When I remove the .box from the code above, why does it no longer function the same way? Am i still not hovering in the .wrap div?

What you're doing on that line, by using the selector:

.wrap:hover .box

is defining how you want the .box div to appear when the user hovers over the .wrap div (after the transition). So you have to select the .box div. If you merely selected:

.wrap:hover {...}

you would be defining between the curly brackets what you want the .wrap div to look like when the user hovers over the .wrap div.
