How do I pull a native DOM element from a jQuery object?
A jQuery object is an array-like wrapper around one or more DOM elements. To get a reference to the actual DOM elements (instead of the jQuery object), you have two options. The first (and fastest) method is to use array notation:
$('#foo')[0]; // equivalent to document.getElementById('foo')
The second method is to use the get function:
$('#foo').get(0); // identical to above, only slower
You can also call get without any arguments to retrieve a true array of DOM elements.
