How to Use slideDown (or show) function on a table row?

I’m trying to add a row to a table and have that row slide into view, however the slidedown function seems to be adding a display:block style to the table row which messes up the layout.

Any ideas how to work around this?

Here’s the code:

$.get('/some_url', 
  { 'val1': id },

  function (data) {
    var row = $('#detailed_edit_row');
    row.hide();
    row.html(data);
    row.slideDown(1000);
  }
);
