I am new to jQuery. How can I make some text slide in? I tried this and 1) it does not work, and 2) I might prefer to have it slide in from the side

$("#someId").html("hello").slideDown('slow');

    It’s hard to tell what’s wrong without more information, since there are several possible points where things can go wrong. Here are some possibilities:

    1. If the element is already showing, it won’t animate.
    2. If the jquery selection ends up not picking up any elements, you won’t see anything either. Is there an element with the id ‘someId’ in your DOM tree?

    Here’s an example of a use of slideDown:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
   <head>
     <script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
     <script type="text/javascript">
         $(document).ready(
             function() {
                 $("#someId").hide();
                 $("#someId").html("hello").slideDown('slow');
         });
     </script>
  </head>
  <body>
      <div id="someId"></div>
  </body>
</html>
