How to Use slideDown (or show) function on a table row?

Question

I\'m trying to add a row to a table and have that row slide into view, however the slidedown function seems to be adding a display:block style to the table row which messes

You could try wrapping the contents of the row in a and having your selector be $('#detailed_edit_row span'); - a bit hackish, but I just tested it and it works. I also tried the table-row suggestion above and it didn't seem to work.

update: I've been playing around with this problem, and from all indications jQuery needs the object it performs slideDown on to be a block element. So, no dice. I was able to conjure up a table where I used slideDown on a cell and it didn't affect the layout at all, so I am not sure how yours is set up. I think your only solution is to refactor the table in such a way that it's ok with that cell being a block, or just .show(); the damn thing. Good luck.
