Using fadein and append

I am loading JSON data to my page and using appendTo() but I am trying to fade in my results, any ideas?

$("#posts").fadeIn();
$(content).appendTo("#posts");

I saw that there is a difference between append and appendTo, on the documents.

I tried this as well:

$("#posts").append(content).fadeIn();

I got it, the above did the trick!

But I get "undefined" as one of my JSON values.

Solution

  • If you hide the content before you append it and chain the fadeIn method to that, you should get the effect that you're looking for.

    // Create the DOM elements
$(content)
// Sets the style of the elements to "display:none"
    .hide()
// Appends the hidden elements to the "posts" element
    .appendTo('#posts')
// Fades the new content into view
    .fadeIn();
