The page I’m trying to load is something like this (although, the number of paragraphs with the class “text” is different every time):

<html>
<body>
<div id="container">
<p class="text">1</p>
<p class="text">2</p>
<p class="text">3</p>
<p class="text">4</p>
<p class="text">5</p>
<p class="text">6</p>
<p class="text">7</p>
<p class="text">8</p>
<p class="text">9</p>
<p class="text">10</p>
<p class="text">11</p>
<p class="text">12</p>
<p class="text">13</p>
<p class="text">14</p>
<p class="text">15</p>
<p class="text">16</p>
<p class="text">17</p>
<p class="text">18</p>
<p class="text">19</p>
<p class="text">20</p>
<p class="sometext">Some other text here</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Is it possible to load only the first ten paragraphs with jQuery with something like $('#text').load('other_file.html #container .p');?

    Use the :lt() selector. It’s 0-based so p:lt(10) should load the first 10 p elements.

    $('#text').load('other_file.html #container p:lt(10)');

    Keep in mind the whole response is still being downloaded, only a subsection is displayed via the selector.
