How to reproduce a tileView

I've been seeing a bunch of website with something called tile view (I think). The idea is you have multiple element on a html page with different width and height.

And you have a javascript that will organize randomly each element next to each other to maximize the number of element you can see at once.

An example is http://www.clipboard.com/feeds (You may have to select tile view next to the search bar)

Is there a jquery plugin already? or a native javascript that do something similar?

If not what kind of algorithm would you use to do it?

Yes, there is a jQuery for that "already".

or a native javascript that do something similar?

Inside that jQuery there is "native" javascript that does exactly that.

If not what kind of algorithm would you use to do it?

It's explained IIRC, was a blog post outlining how it works. You would need to look that up however.
