Hello,

I have a UL and I'm working to dynamically add a new LI to the top of the UL with some animation.

I have the following so far which works ok:

$("#container").prepend('<li id="newhere"><input type="checkbox" /><span class="listTitle">Im new here</span><ul></ul></li>').hide().slideDown("slow");

#container is the UL

The problem with the above is that is hides the entire UL and then slides the entire UL down and I just want the NEW LI that was prepended to animate.

Ideas? thxs
