Jquery check box filter

Question

I am attemting to filter list items depending on whether certain checkboxes are checked or not.

I have managed to get the filtering to work but I am struggling to remove all list items on page load.

The idea is for 'list items' not to display untill the 'options' checkboxes are ckecked

I have placed my working version online here http://dev.perfectdaycanada.com/filter/

Thank you in advanced to anyone who can help me, it's much appreciated.

The javascript for filtering:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("input.type_check").attr("checked", "").click(function() {
        if($(this).is(':checked')) {
            $("#case-studies li."+$(this).attr('id')).removeClass('type_hidden');
            $("#case-studies li").not(".type_hidden, .start_hidden").slideDown();
        } else {
            $("#case-studies li."+$(this).attr('id')).addClass('type_hidden');
            $("#case-studies li."+$(this).attr('id')).slideUp();
        }
    });

    $("input.start_check").attr("checked", "").click(function() {
        if($(this).is(':checked')) {
            $("#case-studies li."+$(this).attr('id')).removeClass('start_hidden');
            $("#case-studies li").not(".type_hidden, .start_hidden").slideDown();
        } else {
            $("#case-studies li."+$(this).attr('id')).addClass('start_hidden');
            $("#case-studies li."+$(this).attr('id')).slideUp();
        }
    });
});

Answer 1

Just add the class type_hidden to your list items like this:

<li id="event_1768" class="other classes type_hidden">– Potatoes, Poland</li>

(and than for all list items of course)
