A completely different option is to write your code in reverse: $('<div class="sidebarToDo" width="100%">Hello</div>') .appendTo("#todoList") .slideDown("slow");
In this case, the slideDown will effect the last element in the todoList (the one you just added). Just something to consider :-) --John On 2/22/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I have a main div, with id= "todoList", and within it, a number of DIVs, all > with classes "sidebarToDo".
