Those were some awesome suggestions Wizzud. Thank you for taking the
time to comment. Here is what I changed/implemented:
* Removed the word tutorial. It was a little misleading, and I had
plan on walking through one or two of these examples in a blog post
anyhow. So for now, it is out.
* I considered using the Dimensions plugin, but for someone unfamiliar
with the ins/outs of jQuery, I thought maybe it was best if I just
used JavaScript. I did put a comment in the code though regarding
using the plugin.
* Everything in your last paragraph I implemented (good stuff), except
for the wrap() suggestion. I mainly use this method for wrapping
elements that are not a mixture of dynamic and static elements for the
reason pointed out in the documentation - "This does not work with
elements that contain text. Any necessary text must be added after the
wrapping is done."
Again, thank you for the input - it was very helpful!
