I am adding an element on a certain condition. But I don't want it suddenly appear but rather would like to slide it down. Here's how I add it:
$('.myDiv').after('<div>added content</div>');
How do I combine it with slideDown?

Try this out:
$('.myDiv').after('<div style="display:none">added content</div>').next().slideDown();
You need to use .next()
on the div to which it is attached because .after()
... adds the element as a sibling to the div to which it is added
Try this
$('.myDiv').after('<div style="display:none;" class="newDiv">New Content</div>');
$('.myDiv').next('.newDiv').slideDown();
first make sure the new content that you input is hidden using .newdiv{display:none;}
either in your css file or inline code like: <div style="display:none;">
then use a callback function to only start after the code was inserted in the document when you used the after() method.
$('.myDiv').after('<div class="newdiv">added content</div>', function(){
$('.newdiv').slideDown();
});
Try this instead :
Good Luck !!
