jQuery using append with effects

by

Having effects on append won’t work because the content the browser displays is updated as soon as the div is appended. So, to combine Mark B’s and Steerpike’s answers:

Style the div you’re appending as hidden before you actually append it. You can do it with inline or external CSS script, or just create the div as

<div id="new_div" style="display: none;"> ... </div>

Then you can chain effects to your append (demo):

$('#new_div').appendTo('#original_div').show('slow');

Or (demo): 

var $new = $('#new_div');
$('#original_div').append($new);
$new.show('slow');
