jquery .text .fade workability?

jquery .text .fade workability?

Hi there,

I have a JSON array which stores data related to my music, e.g. (artist, album, song title, etc)

I then have a div on an XHTML page, which i populate, with my music data via the jquery statement .text:

$("#artist").text(music[indexPos].artist);


I want to add in a fade in effect, but I haven't been able to do this yet.

I originally thought to do this:

$("#artist").text(music[indexPos].artist).show("slow");


as well as

$("#artist").text(music[indexPos].artist).fadeIn(200);


but neither worked.
Could someone provide me with some insight please?
