jQuery: Filter Items

Einen schönen Effekt für das Filtern und Neuanordnen von Elementen auf einer Seite erklärt webstuffshare:

As you can see on the demo page, the image items are showing and hiding with horizontal slide effect based on user choice. Horizontal slide effect produced by manipulating item’s width, when hiding the item we will change the item width into 0 pixel, and when showing the item we will return its default width.

To make the item’s width transformation smooth we will also change its opacity, for hiding the item set the opacity from 100% to 0% and vice versa for showing them. We can show and hide the item but we won’t see the slide effect transition, so we must use built-in jQuery function, animate().

Eine alternative Methode ist das jQuery Plugin Quicksand.
