Append an element with fade in effect [jQuery]

Question

var html = \"
Hello stuff here
\"

$(\"#mycontent\").append(html).fadeIn(999);

This doesn\'t seem to work.

Answer 1

since the fadeIn is a transition from hide to show, you'll have to hide the "html" element when you append it and then to show it.

var html = "
Hello stuff here
"

$("#mycontent").append(function(){
  return html.hide();
});

$('#blah').fadeIn(999);
