Removing 'all' category from filter list about quicksand HOT 5 CLOSED

yep, i would like to do the same ;~)
i've got an animation similar to the initial qicksand one running (http://razorjack.net/quicksand/), but would like to not start with all containers visible, but with a selection. how could i bring that about?

thanx for the plugin, btw, absolutely stunning!
cheers from germany, -funtoosh

I'd love to get an answer to this as well. Having the ability to at least limit the initial number of items returned would help me greatly!

from quicksand.

it was actually quite easy, once i had thought about it: just make two lists, one is initially visible, the other hidden. apply quicksand to both lists (you will want to point quicksand to an UL-class rather than an id). a new list will be built, containing everything you want to see.
(i applied an ".all"-class to all LIs to make them all visible on click.)
hope that helps?

Perhaps a slightly more elaborate explanation for the novice coder.

from quicksand.

Consider this example: http://razorjack.net/quicksand/demos/one-set-clone.html

// DOMContentLoaded
$(function() {

  // bind radiobuttons in the form
  var $filterType = $('#filter input[name="type"]');
  var $filterSort = $('#filter input[name="sort"]');

  // get the first collection
  var $applications = $('#applications');

  // clone applications to get a second collection
  var $data = $applications.clone();

  // INSERT THIS NEW CODEZ!
  $utils = $("#applications").find('li[data-type=util]'); // query line
  $('#applications').html($utils);

And that's it! Pure jQuery, it doesn't involve any Quicksand call. Just replace the query line with any other call that will pick your items that you want to display when the page loads.
