The same code works perfectly with jQuery 1.3.2

Use 

$(document).mousemove()
per the 1.4 release notes.

Documentation is still not working; it's using the old syntax. Confusion!

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
   $().mousemove(function(e){
      $('#status').html(e.pageX +', '+ e.pageY);
   }); 
})
</script>

It took me about 5 minutes to figure out--but what he's saying is that on this page,

http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Mouse_Position

it's still using the old $().movemove. Since that's still on the wiki--I've updated it to $(document).
