Animate with opacity doesn't hold inline style values

This is the correct behavior. You are using a 'show' action/value for the opacity. Anytime a 'show' or 'hide' action/value is used, the inline styles (except display) will be removed.

Please use the following instead: $("#animateMe1").css('opacity', 0).animate({ left: 350, opacity: 1}, 600);
