ajax aftersuccess,javascript - ajax post fade in after success - Stack Overflow

Probably a simple question, but I have been trying to get this to work for a few hours now. I tried almost everything I found about this on stackoverflow, but nothing seems to work.

Maybe a pair of fresh eyes can tell me how to do this.

I want to fade in a div after calling this javascript function.

function getRequest(){

$.ajax({

type : "POST",

url : "/includes/requests.php",

data : "mode=get_requests",

success : function(result) { $("#requests").html(result);

$('#requests').fadeIn(9000);

}

});

}

EDIT: Thanks everyone. This

$('#requests').hide().fadeIn(9000);

did it.
