Neat examples.
If I might make a couple of suggestions...?
Your page subtitle includes the word 'tutorial'. Personally, if I see that
word I expect to be guided through the process of achieving each of the
results in the examples. I would therefore suggest that, instead of having
to go find the script and interpret it for oneself, it would be far more
useful (to visitors) to display the code used for each example on the page
itself. And either fully comment the script, or explain it step by step, so
that people can understand what each bit does and possibly why. (The
mechanism you choose to use to display the script code in itself be a
further 'real world' example!)
You have some quote Tom Foolery unquote in your script (example 3) for
determining how to center a DIV. If the main purpose of the page is to
demonstrate the power of jQuery, does that not also include its
plugins/extensions, in this case specifically the dimensions plugin (which
is an 'official' plugin, after all)?
Also - and this is meant in the spirit of pushing jQuery, not as criticism
of your code! - you might like to consider demonstrating the use of wrap()
in place of some of your html string concatenations (examples 3 and 5)? And
maybe make var p=$(this) in example 4, and use parent() and is() in the
while loop? Also in example 4, if you use ...each(function(idx){... (as you
do in example 1) you don't need to declare var idx or increment yourself.
You have chained where possible, with the exception of examples 1 and 2
where blur() is not chained after focus() - any particular reason?
