Then you call jQuery and as I like the 'show' animation that's what we are going to use to load in the list elements like so:-

 $(document).ready(function() {
  $("#your_ul_id li:eq(0)").show("slow", function () {
    /* use callee so don't have to name the function */
    $(this).next("li").show("slow", arguments.callee);
  });
});

In your CSS now make the 'li' items display:none; so that then they are hidden until jQuery loads them nicely in order.

#your_ul_id li {
	display: none;
}

Of course you could equally use the same technique to load divs in order under a parent id like so:-

 $(document).ready(function() {
  $("#parent_id li:eq(0)").show("slow", function () {
    /* use callee so don't have to name the function */
    $(this).next("div").show("slow", arguments.callee);
  });
});

If everything is in place now load up your file and let jQuery do the hard work!
