jQuery get DOM node?

Question

I can select a node using jQuery with something like $('#element_id') but how would I get the DOM element for use with non-jQuery functions that expect something like would be returned by document.getElementById()?

Answer 1

You can retrieve DOM elements using array notation:

$("#element_id")[0]

or with get():

$("#element_id").get(0)

Answer 2

$('#element_id').get()

Answer 3

$('#element_id') and document.getElementById() both returns the same object. even jquery calls the document.getElementbyId internally. if u can explain that is non-jQuery fn, then i could suggest some thing.
