I cannot figure out why the following will not slideDown slow. Notice that the div is inline.

 ...Read More
Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text 
 

$('#readMore').click(function (e) {             
    $('#bioText').slideDown(1000);
    $('#readMoreLink').hide();
    e.preventDefault();
});

NOTE: If it remove display:inline it works fine. It is the display: inline that is causing the problem. I need the display inline though. Not sure how to get around this.
