How to pull a native DOM element from a jQuery object
You might want to get a reference to the actual DOM elements instead of the jQuery object. To do this, you have two options. First, is to use array notation
$( "#foo" )[ 0 ]; // Equivalent to document.getElementById( "foo" )
Second is to use the .get() function:
$( "#foo" ).get( 0 ); // Identical to above, only slower.
