[jQuery] Animating show() and hide() of TBODY

[jQuery] Animating show() and hide() of TBODY


I am writing some code where I want to insert and subsequently hide a
TBODY element within a table, and animate it doing so.
Unfortunately, if I do hide() followed by show(250), say, then the
element becomes
<tbody style="display: block">
and this results in the inserted section displaying after the end of
the table :-(
Is there an easy way to make this set "display: table-row-group"
instead? I tried setting that explicitly in the HTML, but that didn't
seem to help.
I'll make a standalone test case if that will help.
Thanks,
Brian.
