 * Hi,
 * On my website I’d like to have a container to house my sharing buttons. Why? 
   The container could be hidden behind a picture. When the picture is moused-over..
   then the sharing icons will be visible.
 * Problem: When the [addtoany] short code is added to the container .. it appears
   as text inside the container instead of the actual share buttons.
 * <div id=”share_container” style=”background-color: #eeeeee; height: 50px; width:
   350px; border: #000000 1px solid; align: center;”>`[addtoany]`</div>
 * My test page: [http://www.veggiesbycandlelight.com/1-alison-test/](http://www.veggiesbycandlelight.com/1-alison-test/)
 * If there’s an easier way to do it .. I’d love to hear!
 * Thanks!
