title: jQuery slideDown() moves everything below downwards. How to prevent this?
body: <p>I have a small problem with jQuery <code>slideDown()</code> animation. When this <code>slideDown()</code> is triggered, it moves all stuff below downwards too.</p>
  
  <p>How do I make all the stuff below the <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> being slid down, remain stationary ?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Note:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I would prefer a solution where the change is done to the <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> element, or to the <code>slideDown</code> call or something. Because in my actual page, there is a <em>lot</em> of stuff below the <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> being slid down, so changing/re-arranging all of them will take much longer for me ~</p>
