i simply want to do this ...$("#mydiv").prepend("Hello There").show("slow"); it shows up, but without the 'show' effect
Your "show" is applied to #mydiv, which is presumably already visible, and so it has no effect. You might try something like (untested):
$("<span>Hello There</span>").prependTo("#mydiv").hide().show("slow");
This way, the chainable connection is on the element you then want to
operate on.
