    The error is this line op

        var id = $(this).attr('href');

    On document.ready you dont have a href attribute, but if you replace it to

        var id = "#dialog";

    Youre modal will work. See: http://jsfiddle.net/HJUZm/3/

    For the tutorial you are reading, I can see 2 possible mistakes.

    First is that in your HTML you are missing 

        <!-- #dialog is the id of a DIV defined in the code below -->
    <a href="#dialog" name="modal">Simple Modal Window</a>

    And for some reason you have forgotten to use $('a[name=modal]').click(function(e) { and instead just have inserted it in document.ready

    The differences between $('a[name=modal]') is that document.ready is fired once when page is ready, and $('a[name=modal]').click(function(e){...}); is fired on every click where a name attribute is modal
