Hi Chris,
Using .show() and .hide() with a speed will animate the height,
width, and opacity of the element.
You'll probably have better/smoother results if you use .slideDown()
and .slideUp() . Let us know how that works for you.

I'm having problems with the slide down. It's severly delayed. i'm not
an expert at jquery at all. If it isn't already obvious.
I'm trying to program a text link to slide down a menu from above.
here is the code:
$("#activate").bind("click", function() {
$(this).toggle(function(){
$("#activate").text("- HIDE ").show("slow");
$("#dropdown").toggle().show("fast");
}, function() {
$("#activate").text("+ SHOW").show("slow");
$("#dropdown").toggle().hide("slow");
});
});
