I'm loving the full index :-)

A couple of suggestions come to mind ... having all of the parameter types and 
names in the 
left-hand column makes the list much harder to scan. Maybe it's just a styling 
issue -- like 
making the parameter types and names less prominent (smaller, faded out) -- but 
my personal 
preference would be to keep the index as a navigation mechanism, rather than 
part navigation 
part information. Without the paramter types and names, method names would 
always fit on one 
line, and the bullets could probably be dropped too :-)

I also find having $. at the beginning of some names gets in the way of 
scanning. Something like 
this (using a fixed-width font for the method names) might be nice:

   trigger()
$.trim()
   unbind()

One other small thing: I'd be really nice to have a bit more line-spacing 
overall. I find that 
ascenders and descenders really crammed in a few places (the index and text for 
examples in 
particular). I'd rather scroll a bit more for the sake of legibility :-)
