Description of problem:
I'd like to animate a new added row but the slideDown() method seems not to work on DataTables rows (see the test case).
I also tried another strategy using animate() but the problem is it only grows the row height from its orignal size ans I didn't find how to start from 0px (I commented the code part of this strategy in the test case).

I adapted the code Allan presented in this thread for how Editor flashes rows in this example:

Is this the type of animation you are looking for?

Take a look at this SO thread stating that animations might not be supported in table rows. Maybe fadeIn() will do what you want:

Thanks Kevin, even though it's not the animation I was looking for, fadeIn() is a very good compromise! The way how to flash is very useful as well.

BTW, do you know if this has been done?

As far as I am aware it has not, sorry.
