Answer 1

Try this out:- http://jsfiddle.net/adiioo7/adHvb/6/

JS:-

jQuery('li').click(function () {
      dd = 'baba';
      var liData = '<li class="new-rows" style="display:none;"></li>';
      $(liData).appendTo('.products').fadeIn('slow');

      jQuery('.new-rows').html(dd, 500);
  });

Answer 2

All the answers here regarding animation and effects are really good but I am mostly concern about the fetching part since you didn't include that. Do you fetch the data on the start(document ready) or only when <li> is clicked?

If you fetch the data when the <li> click() event is fired you cannot just set a specific delay for the animation. What if it took some time to fetch the data?

I think you should do the appending and animation on jQuery.ajax() success function.

jQuery('li').click(function(){
    var $newRow = jQuery('<li class="new-rows"></li>');

    jQuery.ajax({
        type: 'type',
        url: 'url',
        data: data,
        success: function(dd){
            $newRow.html(dd).appendTo('.products').hide().fadeIn(1000);     
        }
    });

});
