title: How do you delay animations with .animate?
body: <p>I'm hacking up a fix for jquery slide down which jumps.</p>
  
  <p>So far I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code> $div.hide().css({ height : 0 });
   $div.show().animate({ height : height }, { duration: 1000 });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I want to delay the showing of teh div by 1 second. I've tried .delay(1000) but it doesnt work.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
