This is quite helpful, and more lightweight examples with JSON would be even more useful. I'm 9x more likely to write HTML with jQuery than to develop a server-bound client interface, just because it's easier for clients to deploy.

Your JavaScript code is fine. The only thing I would change is to either declare variables aShowProducts & aShowCategories inside the ready() function or not at all (use $('#...') directly), because they're not used elsewhere.
