Question

I was wondering if it was possible to apply effects to retrieved elements within an array.

I know I can output the contents of the array via the: .text() or the .html() functions in jQuery. But I have been trying to fadeIn() the content, and it never works.

How can I accomplish this?

You must add the object into the DOM before you can show it and use effects on it.

For example:

content.appendTo('#somedivid').hide().fadeIn();
