jQuery : eq() vs get()

Question

I\'m new to jQuery, and I\'m wondering what the difference is between jQuery\'s get() and eq() functions. I may misunderstand what the get()

Answer 1

get() returns a DOM element whereas :eq() and eq() return a jQuery element. Since DOM elements have no method fadeIn() it fails.

http://api.jquery.com/get/

Description: Retrieve the DOM elements matched by the jQuery object.

http://api.jquery.com/eq-selector/

Description: Select the element at index n within the matched set.
