JQuery fadeIn() on DOM element creation?

Question

How do I create a DOM element in JQuery and fade it in to show up, instead of having it show up immediately?

I try this:

var myDiv = "<div>Hello!</div>" $("somePlace").after(myDiv).fadeIn('fast'); 

but this doesn't work, since the .after(myDiv) makes it popup immediately. Any solutions? Thanks!

$("<div>Hello</div>").hide().appendTo("somePlace").fadeIn("fast");
