[jQuery] append and *slowly* show new content in DOM

[Eric P]

Hi,

I'm guessing this is an easy question, but I can't figure it out.

I want to add some new content to the DOM, so I have a line like this.
$('#div_container').append('<p>hi there!</p>');

However, I'd like it to slowly appear via show().

But adding show() doesn't work as I'd expect.  The new content appears 
instantly.
$('#div_container').append('<p>hi there!</p>').show('slow');

Thanks for reading,
Eric P
